Folliculitis: This sound like it could be inflammation of hair follicle or other small irritation. Watch it and if still present after month or one menstrual cycle have it looked at. Sounds benign at this juncture but hard to say for certain without examining it.

Felt a hard tiny painless lump just below the skin of my upper armpit. It's round and it feels like those small silver balls on cakes you eat. I can get it between 2 fingers and wiggle it around with skin but it feels hard as a rock? Scared cancer?
