Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
It can be due to an underlying infection which is not getting ured. Just pressing it out will not heal it as some bacteria will always remain. Get a culture of the pus and a chest xray and start antibiotics accordingly.
Feel free to consult me directly
