How To Treat A Red, Hot Blister Above Ankle Which Oozes Brownish White Puss?

I thought I had a bad blister just a few inches above my ankle so I had popped it like I'd do to any other blister but thick white/brown puss had came out with some blood I let it dry but some rubbing alchol and put a bandage over it the next morning it was very elevated big and red . I left it alone for about three days then after those few days I popped it again and the same stuff came out but it wasn't as big so I put more alcohol and put a bandage and sock over it . I popped it a few times today it looks better than it did but it's sorta blue hot and red around it I'm really confused about what it would be I really don't wanna make a trip to the doctors any advice or ideas about what it might be thank you.

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day


i would suggest you to consult a surgeon for proper surgical drainage of the abscess as inadequately drained abscess will lead to recurrence.
Local application of Mupirocin ointment will be helpful

In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care
