Armpit lump/ boil developed

2021-05-30 10:59:28
Armpit lump/ boil developed under the skin couple of months before. Now after giving hot compression with tea tree oil, the lump / boil has spread a little bit more and became little hard and painful. No path to drain the pus as it is all under skin. Please advise.
