Asked for Male, 25 Years

I've always had a bump on my chest under the skin. Recently its become Gerry aggravated and rose out of the skin a little. Its red around it and sometimes leaks smelly liquid. I believe its an infected cyst. I'm trying some home treatment to cure it. Shpuld I keep the cyst covered with a sterile gauz pad or let it breath?
