Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Yellow pus and blood which looks oily is seen when abscess ruptures. Black things could be denatured blood clots. If your abscess has been there for a long time then the black things could be a black grains which is a feature of Mycetoma.
I will recommend you to see a doctor because an abscess requires drainage of pus and course of oral antibiotics.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
