Answers:
Does it feel like something inside your armpit is swollen.? Or is it your actual armpit.? If it feels like it's inside, it is probably a swollen lymph node, which could be an indication that you have a virus, or it could be something more serious.
If this is the case, maybe you should see a doctor.
If this is not the case, you may be allergic to something, or maybe your skin is being irritated by rubbing it. Health Question & Answer

It could be one of several things. My best guess with the info given (and that is what anything said here is, a guess) is that you have some type of low level infection going on and your body is trying to fight it. The swelling is probably a lymph gland on overdrive trying to fight and filter this out. You don't say how long this has been going on. If it has been more than a week, you need to see your doctor.

Go to webmd.com or mayoclinic.com and use their symptom checker for more info. Both are easy to use and understand.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!Health Question & Answer

Sounds like a gland. Tell your parent's and go to a Dr. right away. It is probably nothing, but swollen glands can be the first sign of cancer. Most likely NOT in your case, but better safe than sorry.Health Question & Answer
