HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Discharge from an infected area would contain a mixture of pus and blood so it is not unusual that blood was present in the abscess.
You may still need to see your doctor because even though the abscess burst some pockets of pus may still be present that would need removal.
Additional antibiotics may be needed.
I hope this helps
