Noticed A Painful Lump Under The Armpit
I have a small lump under my armpit that is very painful. It has been a week. Today, pus started to come out sbd when squeezed more pus came out accompanied by blood. I used ribbing alcohol to clean and then applied Triple Antibiotic cream. I am not sure if that will make it better or worse.

It could have been an abscess that is pus filled swelling due to infection.You should go to a doctor near by for dressing and you need to take a course of antibiotics.Dont squeeze more nor keep touching it.Good day!!
