Brief Answer:
Loos like an allergy!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed all three images fully. Do you use any deodorant? The cause of this is contact dermatitis and often results from use of beauty products. Check them out and discontinue. This alone is sufficient to quell down the continuous trend and reverse symptoms. With no active ongoing inflammation, I will not recommend any medications at this time.

I wish you well and await your updates.

Thank you Doctor for your analysis. I thought it might have been a symptom of something more serious.Just because there are Lymph nodes in that area.

Brief Answer:
Lymph notes would inevitably increase in size because of the local reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is totally normal as lymph nodes respond to local inflammation. They are consistent and pose no unexpected worry.

I wish you well.
