Pus filled lump in my armpit
I have a pus filled lump in my armpit. It is there since 10 years. Recently it opened and there was a lot of pus coming out of it. Today again little pus came out of it , which was dried in nature. The area smells also. And now there is a slit like opening in the area. Please help.
