Worried about lump under my arm

The other morning I woke up and my right arm hurt,feeling under my arm I felt a lump, it felt like maybe a spider bite so I wasn't too worried. It isn't red and it is not swollen. I does have some dull pain to it and hurts when I press on it. It is located ubder my right arm around the mid-bicep area.Today I felt another one just above the elbow area on the same arm. Is this anything I should be concerned with or could this just be fatt deposits or could it be a sign of cancer of some sort?
Would you suggest that I get a doctor to examine this or should I wait a few days, it has been the third day as of today. I do not have abnormal hair grow so I don't think it is from ingrown hair either, this is really starting to concern me.What would you suggest it might be and what should I do?
Thank you,
Agedwell

it sounds like you might have a couple cysts. I've had two in that area, both right in my armpit (gross I know) but the second one hurt... and when I went to the doctor I found out it was infected. So DEFINATELY go to the doctor asap to get them checked out!

You could also be having an allergic reaction to something -
i.e. new deodorant, new clothes detergent.  We also have
lymph nodes around our armpits.  Maybe you have some kind of
infection.  Are feeling allright or are you feeling off?

If it doesn't go away soon, like by tomorrow, I would go in
and have the doctor look at them.  Tumors are hard and don't
usually cause pain.  Maybe you got bit by a big mosquito.
