Hi! thanks for writing to us sharing your health problem of a pimple on the armpit with blood and pus discharge!

Well, there is no lump feeling and just blood-mixed pus came out from it when you popped it...please stop squeezing it; this can spread the infection and lead to massive widespread infection and related morbidity!

As per your description this is nothing but kind of folliculitis or cellulitis therefore, you just need antibiotics like erythromycin or penicillin group of drugs; please see a local surgeon for an inspection of the lesion and a prescription for the medicines with directions...!

Wishing you good health,
I find this answer helpful
