Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This lumps in both armpits can be enlarged lymph nodes. Enlarged lymph nodes can be caused by an inflammation or some cancer (including lymphoma). If you have also fever, weakness, night sweats, weight loss, cancer is more possible.
I suggest you to do not ignore your symptoms.
Please consult your doctor. Blood work and armpits ultrasound should be done.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
