Painful lump in armpit

An armpit lump refers to enlargement of one or more lymph nodes under the arm. Considerations
Lumps in the armpit have various causes. Cysts and infections on the surface of the skin of the armpit may be caused by shaving or use of antiperspirants (as opposed to deodorants). This occurs most frequently in adolescents just beginning to shave. Abscesses under the skin may also produce large, painful lumps in the armpit.
Lumps may occur when lymph nodes are swollen due to bacterial or viral infections, vaccinations, and cancer.
Lymph nodes are filters that can catch infectious organisms or cancerous tumor cells. When they do, lymph nodes increase in size and are easily felt. An armpit lump in a woman should be checked by a health care provider immediately, as it may be a sign of breast cancer.
I had a feeling it was from deodorant,other pit was stinging after using it recently.
My buddy got the same and it went away after a week or so.
On the surface it just feels like a spot but you can grab onto it and it's solid and the size of a pea.
Should I do nothing and wait or get it checked?

Seems about the best thing to do. Don't want to rush to the doctor either.

I had a cyst blow out on my face before and went to the doc and she started squeezing and the thing burst and squirted all over her curtain

Are you getting hair where there was no hair before?
