Bitten By Bug, Swollen, Leaking Pus, Itching, Hurts To Touch. What Should I Do?

I got bit/stung by something the other day and didn t notice until this morning that it s really swollen and there s a dot in the middle that was bleeding . Now it s just leaking puss. It itches and hurts when you touch it and it s not like a mosquito bite. I don t know what kind of bite it is and what I should do about it.
