If is caused by deodorant, stopping that brand should make it go away quite quickly. Mitchum is notorious for that. I had it happen and about 2 days after I switched brands it was gone. It was quite painful.

It sounds like a blocked sweat gland caused by your antiperspirant. Try warm compresses and change brands to see if it goes away. Another possiblity is an ingrown hair?
