<human>: Hi, I have a lump in my underarm, i recently notice a strange odor and increased sweating. I realized that the lump is leaking, which is the cause of the odor. I switch from using antiperspirant everyday to only twice a week. Should I worry about this? Am I finally healing and draining from a lump that Ive had for years?
<bot>: Hello! Thank you for the query. From your description it seems that you have an infected hair follicle or infected sebaceous cyst. It is leaking because there is a puss inside. It is hard to heal such infected lump without an incision and Chat Doctor. That is why I suggest you to consult a surgeon and have it incised. Enlarged lymph nodes should be also considered and breasts checked. Especially if you are female. Hope this will help. Regards.
