Stuffiness in armpit?

Hi Mylotters! Maybe you guys have an idea on what this could be. There's a feeling of "stuffiness" on my right armpit when it is in its resting place as in shoulders down, arms relaxed but I feel that there's a "thickening" of skin in the area. When I did a self-breast exam and some palpations in a standing mirror, there's really NO lump present anywhere on my breasts and armpits. My last menstruation was on May 4. Does the "thickening" have something to do with hormones? I experienced it since March this year, just after I started using Philippine lemon (calamansi) as my organic deodorant. It was stingy and painful after weeks of using the fruit in my armpits so I had to alternate on using petroleum jelly while my skin is healing, after it is healed I would switch to using lemon again. Does any of you experience stuffiness in your armpits?

Maybe it is an allergic reaction to your under arm deodorant. Thats what it sounds like to me the way you have explained it here. The best thing to do is to go see the doctor.
