Hi
I appreciate your concern
Looking at your history it might be either axillary abscess or lymphadenopathy
please visit your doctor for detailed examination and battery of blood test like complete blood count
and ESR
in my opinion a course of antibiotics will be required in axillary abscess
Maintain a good hygiene in armpit and surrounding body areas
Hope I have answered your question
you can ask for follow up
good luck
