Suggest Remedy For Bump In The Underarm

A bump is under my arm ( underarm), (armpit). I ve had it only for a while and it would hurt a little bit. When I shaved my underarm it would hurt the slightest bit. I would also feel it when I put on deodorant. For a while it burned so badly , so I just thought it was a cut from shaving. Today white stuff or tan-ish , white stuff came out of the bump. I told my mom and she said its just puss. Like a white head on your face or something. I still want to go to a doctor , but she always say my problems are just puberty and stuff, but I don t think so. Also, my underarms sweat very much. I would asked my mom to take me to the doctor , but she always say it s puberty. My underarms would sweat from me just sitting down in my classroom. And in sixth grade it was so bad. I told my grandmother and she said she would talk to my mom. I feel like my mom doesn t listen to me. I have just finished seventh grade and I am on to eighth grade in August. I still have the sweating problems , but it doesn t stink as much as it did in sixth grade. And I have tried many deodorants, but none of them works. My grandma said she thinks it s all in my head ,because she never smells anything foul on me. I told her it never happens at home and if it does it s light. Every time I got to school it happens and sometimes when I m out. Hut my mom doesn t listen! I do not know what to do!! Help!! Porfavor?!?!
