What Causes Leaking And Painful Lump In Thigh?

Hello, a couple days ago I noticed I had some pain in my inner thigh. When I looked at it, there was swelling and a lump filled with puss. Today the lump leaked out all the puss and a lot of blood. The whole area is black and blue. I have no idea what caused this, but it's causing me a lot of pain.
