I woke this morning with a small but painful lump in my right armpit. I have had issues in the past with swollen/inflamed lymph nodes in my armpits but this case seems to be different. Mainly due to the secretion of an emmincely foul fluid from the lump. When pressing on it with a white tissue I discovered a yellowish brown discharge which smells more fecal-like than typical B.O. To be frank; it downright smells like turd juice. The leakage and odor has persisted almost immediately after a thorough scrubbing with soap and water. I am a 26 year old male. I am 5 10 and 200 lbs. My diet is lacking in fruits and green vegetables. I have an annoying canker sore located in the back of my mouth next to my uvula. Apart from the discomfort of the canker sore, I haven t felt ill or had a sore throat . I take adderall daily. My intent is to gain a basic understanding for what I might be dealing with to determine whether a non-insurance supported trip to the doctor is needed. Thank you.
HelloLooking at your history this could be an enlarged lymph node infected sebaceous cyst or an axillary abscessing my opinion you should consult a general surgeon for examination and a battery of tests like hemoglobin CBC liver function test and blood sugar you may require a course of antibiotics under supervision of your doctor Wash it with antiseptic solutions maintain good hygiene have multivitamin supplementsThanks for your question wish you good health
