My abscess popped at home. should i go see a doctor? or how do i clean it and make sure all of the pus is out?

Abscess: Without knowing where this was, how large and whether there was a primary source and how well it was drained there is no way to give you individual advice. Do not squeeze this. Suggest that you go and have your PCP look at this, or in an ER they can explore the situation and recommend further management. Best wishes.
