Sore Armpit With Large Bump, Large Whitehead Discharge When Squeezed, On And Off Pain. Any Ideas?

Ok Forever I have had kind of just a sore left armpit, sometimes it hurts and othertimes it doesn't. But also just recently last night I felt a pretty large bump. and very sore. So I squeezed it and I got almost like a very large whitehead out of it. my armpit still feels like there is a bump and i got more out of it today.. WHAT IS THIS?!?! it doesn't have the zit head on it or anything like that and its right in the crease of my pit. its almost like deotorant got compacted in my skin... and made a lump under my skin and is that even possible??

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

You might be having a sore lymph node in your armpit region. It looks like a bacterial infection and needs a consultation with your doctor who will clinically examine and confirm your condition. Treatment usually requires a course of antibiotics for 5 to 7 days. An anti inflammatory might also be given if necessary. It is not due to deodorant accumulation.

Hope this helps
