Suggest Treatment For Painful Skin Tags

I have a skin tag that is normally about the diameter of a dime and is a little puffy. But within the last 3 days it s now very swollen(about the size of a quarter diameter and circumference) It has become EXTREMELY painful and has a bright red ring around it that s warm to the touch and is draining a foul smelling pus/fluid.
