welcome to Health care magic.
1.You should be happy that pus came, not cells.
2.Pus clearly means bacterial infection, likely hair follicular infection.
3.If you are my patient i would have drained as much as i can and flushed out with antiseptic liquid - and close - then a course of antibiotic for complete treatment.
4.If does not heal or reoccur - an small incision and drainage might be needed, and goos dressing need to be done.
5.Maintain local hygiene, do not shave the axillary hair in order to avoid irritation - trim instead.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
