What Causes A Lump In The Armpit?
Last year I had a lump in my right armpit and it lasted a week or two and got to the size of a marble and it went away so I thought it was just one of those bumps you can get around your period but then a few days ago in the same armpit I felt a little ball and now it s back again but not as big but this time there is a pus when I touch it it has no smell tho just pus is this an ingrown hair or something more serious I should go to dr for?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a furuncle. I suggest using to clean the area of the lump and use an antibiotic cream for local application.
I also recommend using an anti-inflammatory treatment in case of pain such as Tylenol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
