Ive had this lump under my armpit for about 5 years now, it use to pus but hasnt recently. It has a hole in it that looks like a slit but pus hasnt came out of it for at least 2 years now but has become very embarassing and I never got it checked out! What could this be and should I be worried?
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. It looks like carbuncle / fur uncle. 2. Needs medical attention.3. A surgical assistance is needed in case of pus and lumpy areas.4. Initially a course of antibiotic is given if it is resolved well and good - or else needs incision and Chat Doctor. 5. Do not ignore, book an appointment and get treated before it gives complications. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
