Armpit Lumps

2020-07-16 07:51:19
I get recurring lumps in my armpit. The lumps are sized bigger than a kidney bean (like a grape) and is hard and painful! The lumps occur on both sides. The lumps stays on for 2 weeks and then subsides. One lump in right side formed pus and is leaking pus for over 2 months. Have taken 2 courses of Augmentin 625 mg but lumps are still there! None of the other lumps have formed pus.

Need to do thorough physical examination by a general surgeon. and an Ultrasound of local part. As pus is there , it will require good drainage and then only it will respond to antibiotics and will heal better.
Next Steps
Go to a nearby surgeon doctor.
