Seems like a fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
It seems like a fungal infection.
As of now you can apply over the counter available antifungal-steroid combination like clotrimazole-betamethasone for symptomatic relief.
You have to trim the hairs of the armpit.
You can wait for a week.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
