What Causes Lump In Right Armpit That Oozes Pus When Popped?
hi there i have a lump in the centre of my right armpit, i did have a sebacious cyst there a few months ago but it has seem to have gone now. the doctor i saw about this cyst told me it was just my glands. i have squeezed the lump and white puss comes out and then a little bit of blood then it goes down for a few days until i start touching it again. could this be a cyst aswell. or can you pop your glands and does anything come out of them.

hi.
based from your description, it could be hidradenitis suppurativa. this condition usually occurs secondary to a follicular reaction with subsequent infection and abscess formation. it is best if you consult with a physician, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. medical (proper antibiotic regimen) and surgical (incision/excision and drainage) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
