A member asked:
I have this bump under my armpit and it started off small and now it's like 3x bigger and hurts i don't know if it's a spider bite or a boil ?

Boil: More likely a boil as this area of the body can be prone to them and a spider would usually have a tough time getting to your arm pit. See a health provider to have it evaluated and possibly drained.
