Hi,
it seems that you might be having some skin lesion in armpits like dermatitis or ingrown hair follicular infection.
There is possibility of having enlarged lymph nodes due to local infection.
Continue with antibiotics.
Apply triple acting cream locally.
Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
