It could be an Enlarged Axillary Lymph node
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I saw the pics.
It did not look like an Abscess for me.It could be an Enlarged Axillary Lymph node.Next possibility is evolving Abscess
If I think of an Abscess,I will try to Aspirate from the Swelling first .If pus comes,then I will give a Incision and drain the pus.
In your case, blood vessels are cut leading to Blood loss from the wound.
We have to remove the stiches after 1 week.
I prefer an Ultrasound of the swelling or Axillary area which gives a clue .If pus is confirmed, Incision can be given under Ultrasound guidance.
Apply pressure dressing.
Please have Coagulation tests
Hope you are not taking any medicines like Anticoagulant for heart disease.
Nothing to worry.
Please consult your doctor and get an Ultrasound and proceed further.
Hope I answered your query If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
