Suggest Remedy For Painful Bump On Armpit

I recently had what i thought to be a painful hair bump in my armpit that was growing larger. Upon popping it i experienced extreme pain nd continued to be sore throughout the day. Until tonight when i checked on it and the bump had grown much larger. I squeezed and it exploded so nasty puss. Now there is a small hole of which i believe i squeezed all the puss from. But i am still in a lot of pain.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, chances of lymph node abscess is very likely it is secondary infection but primary could be another one and this need to be found out, till then such abscess needs complete care of surgical and medical and for that you need to see the doctor it may required complete draining, better to start the antibiotic, and the best option is "Tab Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid" twice in day, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
