Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such lumps can be enlarged lymph nodes or just hair follicle inflammation.
Hair follicle inflammation is more possible if you have been shaving this area recently. There should be pain and swelling with this issue.
Lymph nodes can appear due to inflammation or something more serious in the breasts.
I suggest you to consult your doctor. Breasts and armpits ultrasound should be done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
