I have pain medium knot under my armpit n its really sore can barely put my arm down i get them all the time but will not leave for good what are they?

Likely hydradenitis,: an inflammation of the glands in your armpit. Some people are just prone to this (like some people are prone to acne or migraines). They hurt more if they become infected and may require drainage and/or antibiotics. They only way to get rid of them for good is to have them surgically removed.
