Hi,I am a 31 Year old Male, two weeks ago I developed pain in my left armpit..it was very sore especially if I touched it, it was red and a little soft bump which I assumed was a swollen lymph node. After a week the discomfort subsided and a week it disappeared, it returned.  I was wondering if and when I should go see a doctor to get this checked out or if its just something the body does and stick it out unless it appears again?  Thanks for your help!
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1.it can be carbuncle / fur uncle (arising from hair follicle infections), or seen in after shave causes (infections / inflammations)2. So if its is not causing much discomfort, try using trimmer to remove hair for some time, as in few cases after shave causing irritation causes.3. Antiseptic powder are sold on counter, you can use initially, and maintain local hygiene. And watch.4. If they are massive and pus discharge, painful. Get an appointment. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
