Probably you have the skin infection like furuncle or folliculitis if it contains pus. It is hard to suggest the diagnosis without seeing. Skin infection sometimes requires no treatment if small in size and situated more superficially. But large and deep situated abscess may require drainage and antibiotics. It may be something other than skin infection. You should cobsult your doctor for proper checkup and treatment.
