I have a sore lump in my armpit with no increase in size for the past 3 weeks. dr. diagnosed folliculitis or pinched nerve. what could it be?

Infection/Irritation: infection, or irritation even from shaving. Fortunately, most armpit lumps are harmless. However, can be related to a more serious underlying health problem and should be evaluated by a doctor. Hope it helps.
