Cut on leg red sore puss with little puss filled bumps around it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably a boil: Also known as a furuncle. Hot compresses several times a day will help bring it to a head, when it will either open and drain on its own or, more likely, be ready for your doctor to drain it with a small incision.
