Probably lymph gland: More likely you have infected lymph glands. See your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. Left untreated, these may develop into open sores.

Have it examined: Most likely it is either infection of the sweat glands or inflammation of the lymph gland. See your md and have it examined and treated. Antibiotic may likely be needed. Good luck.
