Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump In The Armpit

Hi, today I noticed I was having pain in my armpit and this afternoon I went to inspect and there was a lump. So I squeezed it and a huge amount of puss came out, whitish yellow and smelled like manure. Then blood started pouring out of it and that smelt gross as well. The only way that I got rid of the manure smell was to shower again and really clean the armpit cause it smelt awful after that experience. I noticed yesterday it was super itchy and today it was painful.

Hii ,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

The medical history u provided is strongly suggestive of an abscess in your Armpit and you should not attempt to drain the abscess on your Own by squeezing or pressing on it. This can push the infected material into the Deeper Tissues and may leads to complications like Gangrene

i would strongly suggest you to see your doctor , He will examine it and if your abscess is small he may opt for oral antibiotic along with anti inflammatory drugs but if it is large and contain large amount of pus , your doctor may go for incision and drainage of the abscess along with medicines to completely clear the pathology

i would strongly suggest you to see a surgeon to get it evaluate

I hope it help
