Painful Armpit Bump: Seeking Advice

Has anyone has a painful bump in your armpit that comes and goes? I went to urgent care for it once and it was deemed as follicularitis and given antibiotics but it comes and goes and I’m getting bad anxiety for it

It happens :( Sometimes when you shave the hair has a possibility of growing in wrong and getting stuck. I think it can happen without shaving too. I haven’t tried a way to prevent it yet, ive just dealt w it and either popped and destroyed it or tried my best to leave it
