Is Puss And Blood On Wart Dangerous?

Hi, i have had a large wart on my thumb for some time now and have been using a wart remover on it for a week. Today the top layer of skin peeled off and after accidentally bumping it, dark pus started to ooze out of it followed by blood. Is this of any concern?
