I found a lump under my armpit, quite deep, began messing with it and although it was difficult to burst, I pressed and pushed it enough and it burst and thick, green and brown pus came oozing out. It was painful before doing this but more painful after. I waited and thought it would just disappear, but now it has become a bigger, dome shaped/flatter, lump underneath my armpit, not so sensitive to touch. Ive waited about 4 days for it to go away but it is still there.
Hi. It is difficult to say whether this was an infected lymph node or infected sebaceous cyst. Well, the treatment remains the same. A course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines for at least 5 to 7 days. You have to undergo a proper clinical examination to be done by a Doctor who can catch many of the problems on your proper history and physical examination and can then guide for further investigations and treatment.
