What Causes A Red Bruise Under The Left Armpit?

I have an unexplained large red bruise under my left armpit. My armpit then swelled slightly, and I ve checked and my bruise is spreading further round the cuff of my arm. I ve had very mild flu-like symptoms since the bruise appeared, and my shoulder and arm have been very achy, like bone pain, and the area under the arm has been prickly and stingy.
