Suggest Treatment For Hard Lump On Armpit
hi, i have a lump in my armpit.. i would say about 1cm wide. it is a hard lump and used to have white pus come out when i squeezed it but now its just a clear gel-like liquid. ive had it for about 3months maybe longer and there is no pain at all. i think it started as an ingrowing hair. how can i get rid of it?

hi.
what deodorant are you currently using? avoid high aluminum content deodorant and do not shave or pluck hair from your armpit for now. it might be a case of hidradenitis suppurativa, an abscess on your underarm. it is best if you sought consult w a general surgeon to assess the lesion if it needs drainage or just antibiotic treatment.
hope this helps.
good day!!
