What Should I Do About Pus-filled, Painful Pimple On Back Of Ear?

I have a pus filled pimple like lump on the back of my left ear at the top. It is very painful and it seems like several pimples lumped together extending into the crease of my ear and head. I sterilized a needle and barely punctured the head and blood and white milky pus came out, but I cannot see where the other head/heads are. My fiancée is freaking out and telling me it s more serious and I need to go to a doctor. What should I do?
