Bump In The Upper Abdomen Getting Bigger. Pus Discharge. Treatment?

I had this bump for 2 weeks now on my upper abdomen area slightly below the lungs. The bump grew bigger and has been discharging puss and blood almost everyday for the last 10 days. Went to a physician 3 days ago and was put on antibiotics and an antibacterial cream. Just had lots of discharge pus and blood a few minutes ago when I accidentally swiped over it. Shocked by the large quantity of the discharge. I'm worried now. Is there relief in sight.
