What Causes Pus Filled And Painful Boil On The Back?

I have a bump that came up on my back about a year ago. Recently it got sore and formed a head. When I squeeze it white fleshey material comes out and then blood. I treat it with antibacterial salve. The next day this white stuff comes back out again. The swelling and pain have almost gone away but it keeps wanting to drain.Age 43 wt. 280 5' 9" High blood pressure, no other health problems.
