How To Treat A Painful Abscess Under The Armpit?

Hello I ve. Had a absence. The size of an eeg once under my armpit when i was a teenager. It has came back and is not as big and painful. When i sleep it oozes and smells bad. I had decided. To squeeze it, and lo and behold something came out looking like brown wormy smelly stuff it was dry not wet looked as if it could have been old puss. It looked and smelled like Defecation. Im 50 now. I put it in a bag to save for my doctor. I also took pictures of it. What is it? ,do I need to get it checked? It s not painful at all.

Infectious Diseases Specialist 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that from your complaints it look like sebaceous cyst. If it is so you should require a surgical excision for its complete treatment. But definitive diagnosis requires visual examination. I can help you further if you can send me pictures.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
