Hi. I am a 34 year old female, and cancer runs in my family. My Dad died with prostate cancer, and my Mom currently has ovarian cancer. Now, to my question. I my left armpit, I have lumps that come and go. Well, theyve came back, and been back since May 1st. This time, it feels like at least 3 of them. I noticed today, that my armpit is now leaking pus and blood. What could this be, or what should I do? West Virginia
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have enlarged axillary lymph node due to some acute inflammatory lesion or tuberculosis.  Or you may have some abscess forming infection.  Chance of cancer is very low.  However, you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.  It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
