Maybe infected: Lumps in the armpit skin of a teen or adult can be due to ingrown hairs or blocked oil (sebaceous) glands. Occasionally, they are blocked pores, filling up with dead skin cells. If the lumps hurt, they may be infected...And would need antibiotics or need to be cut open by a doctor, depending on how they look. Lumps deeper in the armpit may be enlarged lymph nodes, which can be infection or cancer.

Get them checker.: Cysts, abscesses, swollen lymph nodes? These lesions would likely need to be examined and more history obtained to be able to provide you with useful input about the diagnosis or possible treatment.
