It sounds like a swollen lymph node!. Usually they are nothing to worry about!. When we get an infection or scratch even, they can flare up because your body is trying to fight off this infection!. If you have more than one that is swollen, then it would be good to go see a doctor because it could mean something more serious!. Usually they are only swollen for a few days and then go back down to normal size!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's very unlikely to be cancer!. At 16 your chances of having breast cancer are close to zero!. 80% of those dignosed with it are over 50, it's rare in women under 40 and almost unheard of in teenagers!.
It sounds like an infection; swollen lymph nodes are usually a sign of infection!.
Tell your mum, and see your doctor; just because it isn't likely to be cancer doesn't mean it doesn't need medication, so get it checked!. Try not to worry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could be hidroadenitis, which is an inflammation of the hair follicles of the arm pit!. It is common in people of color, but can happen in anyone!.
Like the other suggestions, it could be a lymph node, a cyst, or even a lipoma!.
All of these conditions are benign (not bad) and you have nothing to be ashamed of/worried about!. Tell your mom, and ask her to take you to the doctor!. They will be able to treat you properly!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

First the tell your mom! You need to go to the doctors!. Though your whole body are lyphmnods, in your under arms is one of the main areas!. When they become swollen, your body is fighting infection some where in your body!. Some times they need help, so going to the doctors is very important!. Tell your mom!!! Take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
First of all, no two breasts are equal!. Unless they have changed in size you don't have to worry about it!. You may have a swollen lymph node of an ingrown hair that is now infected!. Given your age and the fact that it hurts, its probably nothing serious but you should have it checked out and taken care of!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It is probably a cyst and is quite common in the armpits!. I think it is from using deodorant with antipirsperant!. You may have to have it lanced, but it is nothing dangerous!. You may want to consider just using deodorant!. anything that plugs your pores is going to cause a problem!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
GO ON ABOUT IT!!! Get to a doctor and have it checked right away!. It may be just a swollen lymph node, but it may be cancer!. Please, don't wait!. Have it checked as soon as you possibly can!. Cancer doesn't wait!. You shouldn't either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
