What Causes Red Rashes On Armpits?

I have red hickey looking marks beside both my armpits and I can assure you they are not hickeys.. They kind of look like little rashes, I only noticed them today they haven t been there before. I just want to know if they are anything to worry about?

Hello.

These are probably folliculitis--hair shaft infections.

Nothing too serious but a course of antibiotics should clear them
