Hi,

I can understand the concern for Brown patches, spots on skin in and around armpit area.

You have not mentioned your age, occupation and any relevant history which could have guided us to the nearest possibility.

Eve then it appears to be simple freckles of diverse origin.I advise you to not pinch or pop the area otherwise these areas are very prone for getting secondary infection. You can apply an steroid cream such as cortisone cream.

You should preferably meet a dermatologist who can examine you physically and provide you the best treatment.

Take care
