Scar On Foot That Is Growing A Bump On It. What Is The Fluid That Oozed?

I have a scar on top of my foot that is over a year old. A few weeks ago I noticed one end of it was getting a small bump on it that looked and felt a thick spot of scar tissue . I ignored it for a few weeks and just noticed it was getting pretty large (about the size of a pencil eraser). It hurt a bit to touch but I squeezed it and a significant amount of white pus came out. I was able to get a good amount out twice. Then I waited a few minutes and it started to swell and hurt. I squeezed one more time and clear liquid came out. Now it is slightly swollen and very painful to stand on my foot or to touch it. What could this be?
