ADDED QUESTION

That is where lymph nodes are. Could be serious. Could be nothing. See a physician.

Probably folliculitis.
If you are shaving your arm pits, some of the hairs can get stuck under the skin, become infected, and sore.
If they do not go away in a few days, antibiotics may be needed.
Try warm compresses to ease the follicles, and see if they will come through the skin.
If not, go follow up with a doc.

I would say to get checked it could be swollen lyph nodes and some times that would be very dangerous, it could be a small infection that is causeing then to swell or it might be something alot worst like a type of cancer. Your Lyph node can show sign of all kind of illnesses.

Sounds like your glands are active in an effort to fight off some sort of infection. I wouldn't worry about it unless it persists for a couple more weeks or you become ill.

i had this problem before its probably just from not applying alcohol from shaving or just sharing deodorant, things like that and its probably a boil if you go to a doctor they will give you antibiotics to help and apply warm damp towel and soon it wont hurt and you can squeeze it and puss will come out it might be nasty but its true oh yeah it can be a hair trying to grow back but cant

Hate to scar you but it is possible that it could be cancer. A lot of anti-perspirants contain an ingredient called aluminum zirconium, which has been link to causing breast cancer. I would get that checked out immediately.
