It's an ingrown hair.

It might be nothing, but, if you're worried about it then have a doctor look at it. You will put your own mind at ease. Tell your dad anyways. He might even drive you. If not then go anyway.

You should absolutely get it checked out by a professional. It could be nothing or it could not and it it is something, they are best noticed earlier while small. I HIGHLY encourage you to get it checked out because that is an area you check for lumps and bumps. Please.

Hi. This could just be an ingrown hair, as the first person answered, especially with you having recently shaved, but if it persists say after another 24 hours or you just feel worried, I'd get it checked by a doctor. You can ask for a female doctor or even a nurse. Anyway, let me know if you're too embarrassed to do that because I have a friend that's a nurse and I could ask her for you if that's any help?

I agree with the others about the ingrown hair (but only if it looks swollen/puffy and red)...another possibility that pops into my mind is it could be a cyst (my mother actually had one removed as a teenager right around her armpit area). By all means though if it doesn't get better in a week or two go seek advice from your doctor.

Ingrown Hair.
or you could be allergic to the deodorant your using.

I wouldnt be too scared to to self exam your breast starting below the armpits toward your breast .. I wouldnt be too scared just change your deodrant see if its that. and if your still hesitant go to the Dr.

Hope I helped..

it depends on how long its been there
if it really is pea sized, then its unlikley to be an ingrown hair
because there not that big
if its like a pimple,red and swollen thern its an ingrown hair
otherwise if not, go to a doctor
I dont want to alarm you but lumps under the skin of that size can (rarely but still possibly) be breast cancer or soemthing seriouse
so get it checked out if your worried

Why are you embarrassed to tell your dad?!?! What is he going to laugh at you or something?

I agree with the guy above, it's probably an ingrown hair. I had one of those a couple of years ago. I did not shave my armpits though. My girl at the time wanted me to get it checked out but I said screw it, and it went away in about a week or so?

I'd recommend at least telling someone.
