What Causes Swollen Lump On Armpit?

I have a swollen lump in my armpit for a couple of months. I went to doctor, he prescribed antibiotics. While I was under medication, the arm pit lump shrunk and reduced in size and the pain also subsided. But now, again the lump has enlarges and is very sore. Transparent fluid started flowing out of it and I have a small hole like thing with reddened flesh inside. What could it be? It worries me. Please advice.
