Irritated Bumps In Armpits, Getting Larger. What Are They?

Recently in the last few weeks I have noticed irritated bumps in my right armpit which have grown larger then gone away only to return days later in the same armpit only in a different area. Then two days ago I noticed the same thing in my other armpit and am beginning to get worried about what it is. Can you help with this?

It could be hair follicle infection and inflammation in the axilla, which is recurring. now u may require antibiotics and analgesics. If it is not responding, u may have to see the surgeon for the I and D. After that to prevent recurrence, use new sterile blade and antiseptics for hair removal.
