Hello
I’m posting here because once again I’ve found another symptom that’s bothering me.
In January whilst I was getting changed I noticed quite a large pus filled spot on my armpit - I tried squeezing it but it was too difficult to reach properly and only a little came out. So I left it and it went down slightly - since then I’ve been left with a small red looking spot on the outside but there’s also a small pea sized lump directly under the skin where it is.
It never really bothered me because I assumed it may be an ingrown hair but now I’m starting to get panicked because it’s been almost 3 months - it’s not gotten any bigger but it hasn’t gone away either and I’ve read about ingrown hairs that do go away after a few weeks. Also I can’t see any hair there. I’ve been putting warm compresses on it to see if it helps but I’m hoping to get to the doctors this week.
Just wondering if anyone else has or has had this and can help? I don’t want to panic too much it’s just the fact it’s still here after so long.
Thanks
