It sounds like your young dog is dealing with some skin issues, particularly with oversized bumps or pimples under the armpits. This could be due to several factors, such as irritation from the collar, an allergic reaction, or even a mild skin infection. Since these bumps have been present for about six days, it's important to keep a close eye on them.

To help manage this at home, you can start by gently cleaning the affected area with a mild, pet-safe antiseptic solution. This can help prevent any potential infection from worsening. Additionally, make sure that the flea collar isn't causing irritation. Collars can sometimes lead to skin reactions, especially if they're too tight or if your dog is allergic to the material.

It's also crucial to monitor the bumps for any changes in size, color, or number. If they start to grow, change color, or if your dog seems uncomfortable, it might be time to take further action. Even though you've mentioned there are no other issues, continue to watch for signs like itching, redness, or any discharge from the bumps, as these could indicate a more serious condition.

If the bumps persist or worsen, consulting with a veterinarian would be a wise step to rule out any underlying conditions and to receive appropriate treatment. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
