Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Armpit

I have a lump on my armpit the size of a kidney bean. It s been there and painless for about 2years. Then just about 7 days ago, I noticed a thick brown pus with a foul odour coming out of it. I pressed it for days now, and it seems flatter but not completely out yet. Please what do I do?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymphnode due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis, abscess forming infection or some cystic lesion. You should go for examination and if needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology 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 health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
