What Causes Purple Discoloration Of The Lipoma Oozing Pus?

A doctor said I have a lipoma on my chest. They opened it but closed up again as they said it was too deep and would require a surgeon to do it. Since then, it got infected, went on anitbiotics, its very purple in color and still oozing puss. And very sore. Any ideas?
