Hi,
Presence of pain, redness and pus point on the top indicates that it had undergone secondary infection that progressed to abscess formation. As this need drainage of the pus followed by antibiotics analgesics, kindly see your doctor.
Meanwhile you can take paracetamol / ibuprofen for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
