Hi there, I am hoping someone might have some advice. I have a lump under my armpit that has been there about 6 months. I doesn't bother me for 3 or 4 days then gets really sore, discharges a clear puss like liquid then bleeds. Anytime I strech it starts to bleed. I have tried switching deoderants, soaps etc. I avoid shaving whenever possible, I have cleaned it with hydrogen peoxide twice a day for the last 2 months and nothing has seemed to help. It is to the point that I stick tissue in my armpit everyday to help protect my clothes from the discharge. I feel fine other than my PCOS, no fevers or anything and the lump is only painful right before it discharges and right after. Any ideas?

I think you need to see a doctor about it and have it checked out to see what it really is. It could be an infection or something else. It's been too long to be self-treating it any longer. Next time you get something like this, don't wait six months.
