Growth On Chin. Became Tight Ball. What Is The Fluid That Oozed Out? Pus?
I have what started out to be what I thought was an ingrown hair on my chin . I gave it time to heal, then it became a tight little ball, I squeezed it last night and a lot of fluid came out mostly what looked like watered down blood with patches of puss flowing with it. It was inflames a bit this morning so I squeezed it ahain and the fluid was a deep red blood with some puss. Any idea what this might be?

Hi
It looks like infected sebaceous cyst or folliculitis.
You shoudl take an antibiotic and anti inflammatory medicine.
If the pus along with the wall comes out,it will heal well.
If only pus comes out and the wall is still present,get it removed completely by a surgeon after redness and pain are decreased.
Nothing to worry
Wish you good health
