It can be caused by several things. Lymph nodes enlarge when they fight infection. You may be trying to catch a cold or something.
Also, if you shave your armpits too close you can cause ingrown hairs and that can cause the nodes to swell.
Don't be too concerned unless it continues for over a week. Longer than that and you should see a doctor.

I used to get swollen lymph nodes a lot, esp when I was in college and working. I kept getting infections and worrying about them. But it turned out to be nothing. And now that I don't do much I never get swollen lymph nodes. Are you out in public a lot? There are a lot of germs. You should go to the dr to have yourself checked out though.

Your lymph nodes ae filters and they are there to catch infection and diseased cells. It might be an infection your lymph nodes is trying hard to handle, if it does not go away go for some antibiotics.

So go see your doctor. You could have an infection, or it could be an allergic reaction - the doc will have medicines that will help. Or it could even be a reaction to harsh soap. But don't try to guess what it is on your own - it could also be a disease that will kill you quickly unless proper treatment is started right away.

Sounds like to me you have razor rash. Just dab some baby powder on it and don't use any deodorant until it clears up.
