Had Bump On Thigh. Difficult To Sit. Popped The Tip. Oozed Blood And Pus. Suggestions?

I am a 20 year old male. I had a round bump on my back thigh, on top of that bump, was another nub, dark red. It was painful to touch, and sitting became a slight issue. However, when i slept, the round maroon redish nub had fallen off and my back thigh started oozing blood and pus . That wasn t really that painful, I proceeded to push the remainder of the pus and blood out, but it was still too painful, I stomached it though and pushed as much as I could before I couldn t anymore. Right now, I have a slight hole in my leg from where the nub was and my question is how bad is it? And should I be worried.
