My 5 year old son started with small bumps by his armpit that resembled skin tags. over time, they are spreading and getting worse. what could it be?

Molluscum: What you seem to be describing is molluscum contagiosum. Which is a common viral infection of the skin that results in round, firm, painless bumps ranging in size from a pinhead to a pencil eraser. The lesions usually disappear within a year and dont require treatment.
