Hi my boyfriend has a tender red hard lump under his armpit, which appears to have pus. It has appeared quite suddenly over a couple of days and he believes he should try open it up to get the pus out.....what is your advise?
As well as the (roughly 4cm diameter) he also has smaller pimple looking spots forming a rash around the area.
He is 33 years old, 187cm tall, 95kg in weight and with no major medical history, the most notable item being indigestion - which he has suffered for years.
