It is most likely a lymph node. It is your body's defense against something in the body that shouldn't be there, such as a virus. Leave it alone and it should you away in about a week. If you get them on your under arm or, near or on your breast, it could be a sign of Breast cancer, if so, get examined by a doctor. But overall, they are normal, just don't mess with it and it will go away.

It might also be an ingrown hair. If you are skilled enough with a tweezer, try to pinch out the top, of the hair. be careful, because if the tweezer its dirty, it could get infected and get worse. If you can't get it out, then wait or go to a doctor if it's really bothering you.

Holes what is theodore s nickname?

Theodore's nickname in Holes (both book and movie) is Armpit. Although in the movie, they make out that it is because he has bad armpit odour, it is actually because, while at Camp Green Lake Correctional Facility, he was bitten by a scorpian. He was actually bitten in the forearm, but the pain travelled up to his armpit. He started complaining about the pain in his armpit, and therefore he was nicknamed Armpit. This information was showcased in Louis Sachar's sequel to Holes: Small Steps. This story is intirely about Armpit, taking small steps to regain a usual life.
