Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain swollen lymph nodes in the armpits that are painful and causes burning and itching can be due to infection..

As the lymph nodes are not so superficial and not easily palpable so there is also a possibility that the painful palpable lumps in armpits are boils or can be inflammation around the sweat glands in armpits also known as Hydradenitis..

I would suggest you consult an Infectious Medicine Specialist and get evaluated and he can advise you to get an FNAC or Biopsy of the lumps done to rule out the exact cause of swelling and treatment can be planned accordingly..

As of now do cool compresses over the lumps.
Take Ibuprofen to reduce pain and swelling..
A short course of antibiotics can also be taken..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
