Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cysts or abscesses under the skin may also produce large, painful lumps in the armpit. These may be caused by shaving or use of antiperspirants (not deodorants). This is most often seen in teens just beginning to shave.

Detailed explanation-2: -Armpit lumps are often a sign of infection that may require antibiotics. Some lumps are due to skin issues and need to be removed. Rarely, an armpit lump can be a sign of cancer. If you’re worried about a lump, the best thing to do is contact your healthcare provider.

Detailed explanation-3: -The texture of the armpit lump may vary according to what is causing it. For example, a cyst, infection or fatty growth may feel soft to the touch. However, fibroadenomas and cancerous tumors may feel hard and immobile. Some people may experience pain with an armpit lump.
