Suggest Treatment For A Sore On Forearm Oozing Red Liquid With Red Swelling

I have a large sore on my forearm which has a small hole. It has a small amount of fluid coming out. Light red. It has a large red circle around it and my arm is very swollen and hot. I have been to hospital on Thursday and they gave me a drip with anti-biotics and sent me home with some. I am taking them and pain killers but it is very sore and red and still swollen. Should I go back to hospital.
