Lump in my armpit was soft but it now turned hard its red/bruised in my left armpit. i'm 16 and have an appt with a dermatologist, but need an idea?

It may be infected: A painful, swollen, tender, red lump in your armpit is probably a small infection. Your dermatologist should be able to treat this easily. I doubt you can manage it on your own.
