What are these lumps under my armpits?

I have about 10 lumps under each armpit. What could they be? I have been suffering from bad headaches for the past three days as well.

Update:

These lumps are painful.

Update 2:

The lumps are inflamed and pink but no sign of blood or infection. But it is very sore.

    I would say that you are fighting off an infection and those bumps are your lymph nodes that swell up to help your body fight off the infection. I think you should see your doctor as soon as possible.

    do these bumps look like blisters, filled with blood?

    it can be sign of shingles.

    see your dermatologist, or PCP for EXPERT CONSULT
