Axillary node : The axilla (armpit) has a high concentration of lymph nodes and this may be the caused. Clogged pores and ingrown hair leading to a skin boil is a possibility as well. See your doctor, ideally when active, to get a formal diagnosis.

See a Dr!: One has to differentiate between a possible enlarged lymph node reacting to some inflammation in the hand or upper limb. However, i bet it is what is called hidradenitis, an inflammation of the sweat gland or sabaceous gland. See your dr. To sort things outm why suffer. I suspect anti perspirants may play a role . Ask a dermatologist is this is correct.
