Dr. Robert Kwok answered

Doctor can examine: Lumps or rashes in the armpit skin of a teen or young adult can be due to ingrown hairs or blocked oil (sebaceous) glands. If a lump hurts, it may be infected and would need antibiotics or need to be cut open by a doctor, depending on how it looks. Lumps deeper in the armpit may be enlarged lymph nodes. The ER can help if one's doctor is not available.
