Hello,
Repeated red blisters under armpit may be due to .
As we call them lymphadenitis or lymphadenopathy ,may be due to.
1 Infection usually due to staphylococcus , diagnosis can be confirmed by examination of culture of fluid from this enlarged lymph nodes.
2 Ingrown hairs infection , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination .
In my opinion consult a surgeon and get his opinion as physical examination is very important in this case.
Good luck.
