A member asked:

Noticed a small hard lump under right armpit 3+ month ago. didn't think much until pus came out tonight. i never use deodorant, and it's not painful at all. not seeking dx here, but is this normal or should i contact my pcp?

From the description you have an infected sweat or odor gland at the site. Sometimes moist heat applied several times a day will promote blood flow and self healing in a few days. If this persists, your doc may need to drain what may have become an abscess.
