What Causes Lump On The Armpit After Changing The Birth Control Pills?

I have recently changed birth control pills, and the one I have changed to has a lower dose of hormones. The second day of taking the new pill, I have noticed a lump in my armpit which is not painful, but quite worrisome. Should I be worried, or is this normal?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
It looks that the development of the armpit swelling has nothing to do with changed pills.
This may be due to a boil or a sebaceous cyst. If not symptomatic just wait and watch. Nothing to worry.
