What Causes Red Spots On Shinbone?

Hello, my father has had a red spot on his shin for about 3 weeks now. He tried to squeeze the infection out but ended up making it worse. Yesterday he said he saw something yellow where he had made an incision and pulled out something yellow and hard that was a cylinder shape and now he says it hurts even worse.

Nothing to worry.
