I have a lump in each armpit of around 2 inches in length and very swollen, they were sore and rock hard, went to gp gave me flucloxacillan 500mg qid for 7 days. One lump began to ooze significant amounts of beige coloured pus 5 days ago. It has stopped today but is still hard and slightly raised. The other lump has not decreased at all. Antibiotic course finished today, gp said to monitor but I am concerned
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Swollen lumps in your armpit is enlarged axillary lymph node. It can be due to some reactive lymph node enlargement, tuberculosis, acute abscess forming inflammation or lymphoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology and take treatment accordingly.
