Answer 1

a swollen lymph node maybe. go to the doctor

Answer 2

I've had that happen a couple times before. It could be an ingrown hair or swollen gland. It has always gone down for me after a few days, though annoying. Don't hesitate to go to the doctor if you're that worried about it, though. It won't hurt to get a professional to check it out.

Answer 3

It is possible that it is just an infected/ingrown hair or pore but is most likely a swollen lymph node gland.  You need to go to your family doctor and be referred to a oncologist who will either lance and drain in an outpatient setting or schedule you for a surgical removal.  If you do not have medical insurance to see a family practice doctor then I suggest that you go to your local emergency room because they will not heal/pass on their own and will continue to swell until the pain is unbearable and you are physically unable to move your arm due to the pain.  The sooner you see someone to have them drained the better, you might avoid a costly surgical procedure - as I learned myself

I am now 26 years old, when I was about 15 years old and I had two swollen lymph nodes occur at the same time (one under armpit and one near beginning of my bicep on same arm) and because I ignored it for so long and they go so swollen and infected that I needed to be put under full anesthesia so both could be lanced (cut open), drained and packed with clean gauze.  I then had to remove packing, clean the inside of the open wound with hydrogen peroxide q-tip and repack with clean gauze myself for about two to three weeks following my surgery.  Now they are both small scars but no pain and no return swelling
