Armpit lump

2020-12-04 16:25:53
I have a lump in right armpit since 20-25 days. There was pus discharge around 15 days back. But after the dicharge stopped, the lump size is the same. It has not reduced in size. The lump was painful during pus dicharge. But now it is very mildly painful, but the size has not reduced at all. It becomes more palpable on lifting the arm up. It is not mobile. On side view of the lump,  it looks protruded. The size is around 1-1.25cm.I tried antibiotic ointment, but its not effective. What further steps can be taken?
