Hello,
As you have boils over the knee and oozing pus, this sounds to be of infection. Getting the sample test done on a safer side is always good. With antibiotics and pain killers you should be fine is it isn't major. If it's too major it might require a drain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
