Do consult your surgeon or plastic surgeon. You will need debridement/ cleaning and some procedure to cover the raw area. You might consider Laser hair reduction to avoid recurrence of the lesion.
Next Steps
visit family physician or surgeon.
Health Tips
Do not neglect since pus discharge has started.  You will be advised some blood tests and antibiotic coverage before definitive procedure.
