What Do Painful Red Lumps In The Armpits Indicate?

For about a year now, I’ve been getting these pea-sized lumps in both armpits. They get sore and red for a few days and then go away. I saw a dr who told me it was hidradenitis supperativa, with out explaining to me what that is. I researched it and freaked out, called my dermatologist. She said it’s not likely, as I don’t fit the profile of people who usually have it. I don’t know what to do.... What else could they be?
