Hey, i'm a 16 year old girl who has a bump under my left armpit, and i'm scared. I hthink it's from shaving and I cutted it and it got infected and swolled up, but i'm not sure. What are signs to look out for? Any ideas?

Is this lump movable?
Do you find it painful and red?

Shaving and usage of antiperspirants can be followed by forming cysts (inflamed folicule) and superficial infections in the skin of the armpit.
