Swollen Bump On Leg With Whitish Yellow Pus. Cure?
I have had a bump on the outer side of the top of my leg and last week I squeezed and and a whitish yellowish green pus came out of it I squeezed until blood came out and today it was huring and I noticed that it is clearly swollen and squeezed it again and the same type off puss is coming out but now around that spot there is an area larger than a quarter that is red and it is for sure swollen that you can see the difference from one leg to another.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you had an infected hair follicle (folliculitis) that may have extended to form an abscess which is a collection of pus that requires surgical drainage.
It may be best, if possible, for you to visit your doctor for an assessment and treatment.
I hope this helps
