Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Armpit

I have a lump under armpit and next to it is a tiny open pore that sometimes has fluid come out that smells bad. It is like a drainage. The lump has been there for 3+ years, when it is not swollen, it doesn t hurt. But when it is swollen, pressing on it make it hurts. What is it and what should I do?
