multiple red lumps in my left underarm

I'm a thirteen year old female, i have noticed these multiple painful red lumps in my left underarm, they sometimes hurt, itch, and ache. When i touch them they hurt, but when I'm don't they either itch or they ache. i have had them for nearly a week, and now I noticed that in my right underarm i have some too, they look like pimples. My mom says its nothing but it really bothers me. What can I do to make them disappear? What is it?

Hey! I've had this too. It MIGHT be razor burn. Razor burn isn't flat and isn't necessarily a rash or just red dots. Sometimes it can cause painful red pimple-like lumps that have nothing like puss or anything inside of them. They can really hurt and they itch hella bad and can make the tissue under them hurt. Did they pop up after shaving or anything? If so, that's probably what it is.
