See your doctor.: Pain in the armpits can be due to swollen lymph notes, which can be a sign of infection. Get an exam.

I had a cyst under my arm 2 years ago. My doctor told me to put a hot rag on it and it shrunk; now its a small hole. it hurts when touched sometimes and it can start to smell. Its not a bad scent but its noticeable. could this be sign of infection?

How can you get rid of under arm odor? I have tried everything. This started about two years ago, I sweat very little (if at all) and yet I still smell bad under the arms.
