Another cause of armpit pain is Hidradenitis suppurativa, a rare, chronic condition that causes boils to form under the skin. It most often appears in areas of the body where the skin rubs together, like under the armpit. Typically, the boils swell, drain, and heal, leaving thick scars that can cause pain and restrict mobility.
