How Can A Oozing Lump In The Armpit During Pregnancy Be Treated?

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and discovered a small lump under my armpit a while back. The other night when I applied a little bit of pressure to it, clear fluid came out of one of the pores. It was a little painful. It hasn't disappeared and size seems to change from small to bigger and then smaller again. I will get it checked out..hoping that it is nothing to worry about?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion it might be furuncle a infected hair follicle.But it's good that it does not contain pus.Do not apply pressure on it.Apply hot fomentation and mupirocin ointment.If doesn't subside consult doctor as you might need antiboitics.
