i have had reoccurring lumps in my underarm area both on the arm and on my torso right at the fold of my underarm. these are swollen and painful and after about 3-5 days open and have a bloody / puss discharge
They are probably infected. See a doctor for a proper antibiotic to get rid of these infections.
I had the same thing but eventually I developed MRSA from the infection and I had to have all the glands in my armpits removed. they told me when I came in the first time for this...someone should have referred me to a surgeon than because this type thing doesn't go away..... so save yourself a lot of pain and agony and go to the dr. right away. I had to be in pat for 11 days....I had to have home health care to come work with my pic line that they inserted for the drug vankomyocin....which is basically a rat poison....and I eventually got sick from THAT and ended up back in the hosp for a few more days. Trust me when I tell you, I would have much rather seen the dr. --let him treat me...even if surgery was still necessary. but at least I wouldn't have had the scary infection and the horrible drugs. They say it can begin simply by using the wrong deodorant !!! it clogs the pores.
Have you been sick lately? I asked my mom (who is a nurse) because I have a painful bump on my underarm and she said it could be a lymph node, which is a bunch of fluids that fight bacteria. When you are sick, sometimes they will bunch together and form a bump somewhere on your body. So if you were recently sick, maybe that's the problem.
