I think I was in a similar situation. I wouldn't neccessarily call it acne that I had under my armpits though. They look like pimples and they hurt like hell! From what I understand it was related to purberty.

Do you shave under your armpits? Ingrown hairs can cause pimple like things under your armpits by shaving the wrong way.

I do shave but there were rather large that's why I never thought it to be ingrown hair. There were large and painful very very red i'm just glad I don't have it anymore. You just have to wait it out
