Hey, i'm a 16 year old girl who has a bump
under my left armpit, and i'm scared. I
hthink it's from shaving and I cutted it
and it got infected and swolled up, but
i'm not sure. What are signs to look out
for? Any ideas?

Is this lump movable?
Do you find it painful and red?
Shaving and usage of antiperspirants can
be followed by forming cysts (inflamed
folicule) and superficial infections in
the skin of the armpit.
