What Causes Hard Skin With Black Hole After Popping A Bump?

I have a big bump in my right armpit and its kind of hard under the skin. Recently it formed a white head and today i popped it. Alot of yellow stuff came out and some blood. Afterwards it left a little hole that looks black inside and its still big and kind of hard.

Hi, your history suggest more of an abscess
If i were your treating doctor, then i would recommend
1) To start on antibiotic i.e cefexime, chymorl forte along with antacid tablets for full course of one week.
2) To clean the infected region with antiseptic lotion, and covering the region with sterile gauze.
3) The hard thing which you feel is granuloma formed by offending pathogens, which would go away after treatment.
4) I would advise to see your physician and get the wound cleaned under aseptic condition, and to get prescribed medicines.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
