Hi,
This blood with pus discharge suggest local infection. You need to clean the area with antiseptics like betadine and maintain good hygiene. Topical antibiotic cream/ointment is required. For pain take NSAID like ibuprofen.
If you feel any loss of sensation or severe pain or any abnormality any where below the injured area then needs further evaluation.
Hope this helps you.
