Hello, I had what i thought was a pimple in my armpit. So I tried to pop it. Now there is almost a glofball sized mass in my armpit. Its super super painful. I tried to cut into the pimple and did express some fluid and puss, but its still not working. The pain is really bad
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint a pimple in the armpit can be due to infection in the armpit leading to ABSCESS formation. As you tried to pop it there has been spread of infection leading to formation of a large lump. I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated, and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly. He can advise you to take a course of antibiotics like Augmenting, anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, clean the area with antiseptic solution and apply Antibiotic Ointment over it. The Dermatologist can also do Incision and Chat Doctor.
