HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is likely an abscess based on your description. This is a localized collection of pus.
The pus can be mixed with blood.
Definitive treatment would require the lesion to be cut and drained. This is an in office procedure. Even though it may burst, pockets of pus remain that may result in a recollection.
Antibiotics would also be needed
I hope this helps
