Large green lump behind knee , and one behind my ear, they both are fairly hard. It hurts to walk, and I got it around late august, it came when I was very sexually active. It s more sensitive during my period, and some pus leaks out during hot baths, however, the size only decreases slightly. I do not qualify for healthcare benifits, what shall I do?

Actually seeing doctor is recommend in this case as the infection can spread to other parts or also cause septicemia.
