Answers:
you need to let them heal first of all so you should probably refrain from using your deodorant!. If you are worried about smell or anything use some baby powder for a while!. It wont work the same as an antiperspirant or deodorant but it will help while your underarms heal!.
You may have razor burn, a reaction to your deodorant, or possible the clothes you are wearing!. Maybe the detergent!. Either way try and narrow it down by stopping the use of these for a bit!. Let them heal and try again!. Try doing each thing on its own such as use the deodorant and not the detergent to see if you react!.

Same thing happened to me lately!. Went to the doctor and he said to put cortizone cream on it!. It did not work, went to the pharmacy!. i bought some clotrimazole just in case of some kind of fungus infection!. I was told that I need something strong!. Called the doctor back, he wanted to see me again, of course!. I told him to give me something over the phone, because it is a waste of my time and money to keep going to him and it is not resolved!. He finally called in a cream of clotrimazole with bethamethasone and dipropionate in it!. You need a prescription for that!. Anyway, I used both and it helped!. You might want to buy the cortizone and clotrimazole to see it it helps before going to the doctor!. BTW, I don't use deodorant and it is not a razor burn either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
That happens to me occasionally when my anti-perspirant gets into my skin!. If you use a liquid one usually at night, stop for a few days to see if that fixes it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Have you started using a new soap or deoderant lately!? Sounds like an allergic reaction to me!. I'd refrain from using any new products & try taking a Benadryl!. That could clear it up within a few days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I would refrain from shaving them for a few days until it gets a little better!. I'm not sure what the bumps are though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
