I have a pinkish mole under my arm right where my bra sits and I noticed that it was getting larger. I had to squeeze the area a little to get a better look at it being under my arm and when I did I had acne like puss come out of it and it was quite a bit. Now it is back to normal size. I was wondering if I should have it checked out or if getting acne under or inside a mole is normal. I was thinking that maybe since it sits under my bra that maybe the pores where clogged with dead skin cells and caused a sort of "back up". Thank you for your advice.

Yes, I would certainly get it checked, especially since it's in an area that is constantly rubbed by your bra. Since you were able to draw pus from it, it probably got infected. I would have the area checked though, to make sure it was just a zit. Go see a dermatologist. I suppose it's possible to get a zit near a mole, but I would have the mole checked out just in case. Sometimes what appears to be a harmless mole could be something else.

Sounds like a Sebacious Cyst. Go to a Dermatoligist or at least your personal GP and get checked out. Removing the mole may make the problem (blocked pore) go away in this area.

I think you should go to the doctor and have it checked and possibly removed. It sounds like it sits in an uncomfortable area on your body. Take care.

Moles are not supposto leak , drain, or change in size or color. It could be a sign of cancer. Get it checked out.
