A few months ago, I developed two cysts in my right armpit. Since then, I've had near constant discomfort and irritation, and one spot turned into what I can only refer to as a blood volcano. The spot around the blood volcano is dark purple, like a severe bruise. It had formed a lump about a month ago. It was extremely painful. Because I didn't really know what to do, and I found some info online about lancing it, I tried to do that. That was when the volcano first erupted. It gushed and poured and oozed for about an hour. I thought it had healed over, but the dark purple spot never disappeared, although it did shrink and it is no longer raised. Today, I decided to try to figure out why my bra has been feeling like it's pinching me in that area. I had barely raised my shirt and touched that spot, with no force and nothing sharp, and it started up again. I've been in the bathroom these past 45 minutes trying to calm the storm. I think I lost a bit of blood because it was nonstop. It seems to be the worse when I stretch out the skin over the spot, rather than apply pressure to it. The 'head', for lack of a better term, is quite small, maybe 3mm when the skin is completely stretched out. There was no pungent odor or tinge to the blood. I believe it was just blood, although quite dark. There were also a few small blood clots that came out.
Feeling dizzy, I sat down in my chair and started to feel nauseous. Then, my ears started ringing really bad and I felt like I was going to pass out. I thought about texting my husband to wake him up, where he's asleep. Right now, my breathing feels shallow and I'm extremely tired (though, to be fair, it is late). I feel like I can't get enough air and I'm extremely hot, maybe even feverish.
I don't really know what to do. We used all of our flex card money so we don't have anything left over for medical expenses. I'm trembling and scared. Do I need to seek immediate treatment? Is it safe to go to sleep?
(I don't expect anyone to be able to answer that with any real authority, I'm just seeking advice and answers. What on earth is this?!?!)
