Hi i have a really big boil that started draining i've been on antibotics but drainage seemed to look like only blood no puss is this normal ?

Depends: Some skin infections will develop a painful skin swelling but without abscess fluid to drain out. Some skin infections form a pocket of abscess fluid that will drain out pus. Depends on which type of infection you have. Go back to see your doctor to be sure the antibiotics are working for you.
