Hi,
Thenks for writing to hcm.
Painful bumps on armpits indicate an inflammed lymphnode and not cancer.
Probably a localised infection has lead to an inflammed lymph nodes.Kindly keep the area clean and take a course of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7days (if you are not allergic to it) after consulting a doctor.
