Large lump underarm leaking puss

2018-01-27 10:55:14
8 years ago I had a small pimple on my armpit that leaked yellow puss which was thick and had an unpleasant odor. It used to leak for a while and then stops. It comes and goes. Now it has progressed. The pimple became a lump and it is constantly leaking runny puss. The puss doesn’t have an unpleasant smell like it used to before but the leakage is more. This has been going on for 4 months. The lump is getting larger and I am too ashamed to open up or show it to anyone including a doctor.
