What Causes A Lump On The Arm?

hello, i am a 41 year old mother of three and i noticed a little bump under myright arm lately. whenever i touch it or massage it , release gas through my mouth. I also find it irritates me, perhaps because I shaved a few weeks ago and there is new growth in that area, but I just find it a little annoying, when i get a scappy feeling underarm. My right arm arm also feels a little heavy sometimes. I do have flabby arms and weigh 75 kg. I wondered if you could tell me what the little bump can be, . It feels soft and though hardly noticeable, it feels a little annoying. thank you

Hi,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,You seems to have post shave underarm folliculitis in early stage,which if remains inactive would go,as it is already invisible.It is non-cancerous but a infection of the axillary hair follicle.
So dont worry .If it is troublesome Check with Surgeon and get Second opinion on this.
