Yes, it could be some kind of bacterial infection that would require an immediate reaction. So, you better see a doctor about this ASAP to get the proper diagnosis.
Hi a few days ago i noticed a small lump under my armpit thefore i pressed it really hard and puss came out then it went away for like 2 days then i had another smaller one i pressed it and now i both lumps are back i tryed pressing them but is painful what can i do, plz email me _[removed]_
stop popping them. Put some panoxyl face wash 10% strength on just the TOPS of the bumps. Leave on over night. Then, try a hot rag with some providone iodine on it. *PROVIDONE*.. Soak it for as long as you can, drop the rag in the microwave for a few minutes, soak again. If its an ingrown hair, sometimes this can help.
If it gets TOO painful and swollen, PUT ice on for 15 min at a time.
Take 2 alieves for swelling 2 times a day. Take 1 extra strength tylenol for pain ever 4 hours.
If you get a fever at ANY time that is over 99F, then you MUST go to the Dr. The fever is your body telling you it's time to go to the DR.

About a month or so ago I had a lump under my aimpit and it popped. Puss started coming out and now it's stopped but it won't stop bleeding, and it's very sore. Any ideas?
