Suggest Treatment For Lump In Armpit

I have a lump under my armpit right on the outside of breast. It hurts when I touch it and it's actually making my whole right side of my rib cage hurt. I'm 18 years old, and I'm probably going to see a doctor today, but I was wondering what it could be?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.It could be carbuncle or furuncle causes due to the hair follicle infective / inflammatory cause, with pus discharge and pain on touch.
2.Abscess also causes pain on touch.
3.What i would recommend is do not shave axillary area for some time, use trimmer instead, as after shave lotions do cause irritable cause and does not heal.
4.Mean while you have to see your GP and get a course of antibiotics ( which generally given depending on the examination findings)
5.Finally Lymph nodes are seen after any systemic infections / inflammations.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
