Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having sebaceous cyst and now became infected producing pain, redness, induration leading to enlareged axillary lymph nodes giving rise pain in arms and shoulder.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
If cyst is there, it might require excision of cyst with complete removal of sac.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
