Swollen lymph nodes. You have lymph glands in your under arms, and they can become sore, sometimes you can even feel a knot, if your body is fighting on infection or illness. Not much you can do about it, just wait for it to go away.

Also it could be cellulitis which is an infection in the dermal and subcutaneous layers of the skin. The most common reason why it forms in the armpits is bacteria gets into the skin via small cuts from shaving your armpits. See your doctor, and he/she will give you penicillin to take.
