Brief Answer:
Abscess or pus collection. Needs immediate draining

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Thanks for the query.

How long have you had this problem ?

Have you sustained trauma ?

Is there a red, painful swelling ?

This appears to be an abscess or pus that is draining from a point in your skin.

It is best to get it seen by a Surgeon who will examine it and drain it properly and then start you on antibiotics to prevent a systemic infection in the blood.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
