A member asked:
I occasionally get lumps under my armpits and i burst them. they have blood and cream or greenish coloured blood & pus in them. what are these and what could cause them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What you described suggests folliculitis, i.e., infection of hair follicles. It would be prudent to see a doctor to find and treat an underlying cause and preventing a chronic infection. In the meantime, quit shaving your armpits. Keep the area clean and dry.
