Painful, puss filled, red bump

Question

Asked for Female, 23 Years

I developed a small bump under my skin just above my hip a few months ago but didn't think anything of it until a few weeks ago when it started to swell and grow tender. It also burst once and oozed yellow bloody pus. Within the last week it's only gotten bigger and is very painful.
