What could cause my armpit to have a quarter size bump underneath my skin that is painful to touch?

This is a very difficult question to answer. There are many
things that could cause a painful bump or lump underneath the skin
in your armpit. It could be an infection, a swollen lymph node, a
bacterial infection if you shave your armpit, a fatty growth,
cancer or any number of things. Here is a useful website at the
National Library of Medicine website Medlineplus on armpit
lumps

The best answer to this is to please try to see a doctor or
nurse or get to a health center. Treatment will depend on which of
the many relatively harmless or serious conditions that could be
causing this bump or lump.
