How To Treat The Infected Bump On My Groin Area?

I recently noticed a small bump on my pelvas area (groin) and i thought it was a pimple. A few days later it got bigger and some swelling had started. I showed it to my dad and he sais it was infected, but i have no idea how or why. I dripped to pop it and squeez it out and alot of puss and blood and some clear liquid stuff came out. i thought it was over. but today i woke up and its as big as a golfball and it is really hurting very bad and i cant harldy walk or even wear cloths over it. im a bit scared because i know infections can get bad. i do think its serious and need to go to the hospital but my medical canceled and i have no ride. PLEASE, someone tell me what i should do. i tried anti-biotics, proxide, and salt-water, and taking meds for the pain. i need advice today as soon as possible. please if you have questions feel free to ask....this is serious and it hurts a lot!
