What Does A Painful Lump In The Armpit Indicate?
Hi, I had a huge cyst under my armpit which was very painful. I left it alone for weeks until one day I got out the shower, checked it and it had burst on its own. It was leaking yellow puss, I cleaned the area and it bled a lot!! I put a plaster on because it was dripping down my arm the bleeding was that bad, now I have a hole under my arm, it s quite sore, shall I leave it to close naturally?

Hello,
I feel that you will require antibiotic therapy with Clindamycin and dressing also. If you can upload an image - then I will see and guide you further.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
