Hi,
Cyst in armpit may be epithelioid cyst..also called sebaceous cyst. It is a benign condition. There may be cheesy whitish material in the cyst.It may be infected. You consult dermatologist. After firm diagnosis, antibiotics for short period with anti inflammatory drugs may be taken. After clearance of infection,it may be removed surgically under local anaesthesia. For menstrual problem,consult gynaecologist. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
