HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The area is infected as evidenced by the pus that you have mentioned.
For resolution, antibiotics would be needed.
The area may also need to be incised to allow any discharge present to drain out completely. If some pockets of pus remain, the infection can recur.
It would be best to see your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
