Question: Yellow- green and bloody discharge from my underarm?
i have this Yellow- green and bloody discharge from my underarm it feels like a lump or a pimple more like a pimple and it doesn't happen all the time just every blue moon i dont think its breast cancer because my breast look fine and i dont have any lumps or discharge from my breast ... sooo what else could it be ...????

Answers:

It is likely an infection that is forming in a sebaceous gland that has formed a cyst. It is called a sebaceous cyst. The lump can be painful and the pain gets relieved when the cyst opens and drains. The cyst can be removed or the infection treated. You should be checked for an infection called MRSA (Methacillin Resistant Staph Aureus). It is a contagious infection that is now spreading in the community. Make sure you are washing your hands frequently.

I am a hospital nurse. MRSA is one of the infections that use to only be found in the hospital. Now we see in in the community in a slightly different but identifiable form.



Often a breast "looks" fine....but do you know how to do a proper breast exam? If not, you better learn how.

Go see a doctor...you should not be having that color pus and certainly not blood from a pimple under your arm. However, if it is an irritation or possibly a mole that has been shaved over so many times that it looks like a pimple, you could be making it worse by shaving and it could be infected.

Either way...you need to see a doctor.

And don't try to self diagnose!



It might be lymphoma, everyone has lymph nodes under their arms.
