Hi, so a few days ago I noticed some discomfort in walking normally so I checked my foot out and there was a huge pimple right above my ankle so immediately I tried popping it but only blood and pus came out. After that, it started coming back and making the area around it swollen all the way down to my ankle and its been giving me a lot of pain, it hurts to walk! I've tried popping it like 3 more times and it just cont go away. I've tried icing it and putting neosporin on but nothing is helping. someone please help?

You might have to take an oral antibiotic for this. I had the same think on my leg (I think it was a boil) and I took antibiotics for a week. Get it checked by a doctor to make sure it isn't a cyst or anything. Usually those things come back if they aren't popped and cleaned out properly.
