Well first off in my opinion I do not believe it to be cancer!.
It is either an ingrown hair which has become infected and has come to a head!. Or it could be a bite of some sort!.
I would try to leave it alone because the more you mess with it the more it will become irritated!. I would suggest washing it with warn water and maybe applying a warm wash cloth on it , this will help it continue to drain the pus which is with-in it!. I would suggest a cotton ball with some witch hazel, if you can pat some corn starch on it that will help!.
It should go away after awhile but if it does not or it becomes worse you might want to have a doctor look at it!.

Could be a boil or ingrown hair that has become infected!. There is an old remedy that you might try, if you want to draw it (bring the pus to the surface)!. Your drugstore should sell some over the counter medicine called draw out salve!. If you put some of that on a cotton ball and dab the lump with it you should be able to bring it to a head and it will pop on its own!. Treat it maybe twice a day until it's all gone!.

hmm i thought it was going to be swollen lymph glands but puss!?!? i would say a spot or an ingrown hair, but i doubt you shave your armpits! it could be a bit or a spot, but seeing as puss is coming out its deffinately not cancer! see the docWww@Answer-Health@Com
i had a lump under my armpit a few years back, the first thing that came to my mind was cancer as well!. i left it alone though and it went away in a few short weeks!. hope yours does the same!.
