Lump in the armpit
Formation of lumps in armpits and its painful whenever they occur in my armpits. Since last 4 yrs it's happening and these lump formation takes place from time to time, sometimes it disappears and sometimes it remains for 1-2 months. Since last 1 year, I have been noticing few drastic changes in these lumps which does not seems normal to me that's why...I'm afraid. Some kind of stinky liquid comes out from that lump and since last 1 month it's coming out from my lump in the right armpit.
Please look into this and kindly tell me what it is, why is it happening and how can I cure this...???

I do see enlarged axillary lymph node.
Did that red tinted lesion generate the discharge?
Need a detailed HPI and ROS for this case.
-Use Clindamycin gel during morning excluding the abrasion during morning for 1 hr.
-Apply lactic acid at night. Then use moisturiser and massage gently.
Next Steps
-Could be an open comedone or predisposing underlying conditions too( involving the organs of the reproductive system)
