What Causes Red Sore With Blood And Pus Formation?
I have a red sore that was oozing blood and pus last week. Since then I have been told by 4 doctors (3 internal medics & 1 dermatologist) that it could be a tumor, or a fungus or whatever happens from the sun. I am currently dabbing 1 pt water & 1 pt peroxide on the sore and then appling a bactroban creme (generic) I don't know if it's getting better since I can't see it I'm more worried because I will leave for Europe on April 24th and I wonder if I should go.

A sore oozing pus and blood is more likely a case of bacterial infection. You should take some good oral antibiotic for the same along with a topical antibiotic like mupirocin. Also go for hot fermentation. With this your sore will surely go away in 7-10 days.
