Suggest Treatment For Bump Under The Armpit
I have a bump under my armpit and it has smelly pus coming from it and it hurts. I thought it was a pimple so I have popped it open. A bunch of thick pus came out, but there is still pus in the bump. I put alcohol on it and it burns, so today I put a bandaid on it to keep it from getting on my clothes

Hello. This is a draining abscess, and, so long as it drains it will eventually resolve, but you should have a doctor look at it to see if you need a course of oral antibiotics
