Need to see surgeon

Detailed Answer:
hi and welcome.

This is obviously bacterial infection and probably an abscess and you should visit doctor that will do incision and drain this content out. Also antibiotics may be required. you should apply sterile gauze on it and avoid manipulation around the wound.

Wish you good health. Regards
