I've got this bump that started off small, but after I accidentally scratched it, it got bigger. It's pretty red around the edges and really hurts when I touch it. I noticed there's some pus inside. Is it better to wait until the pus grows more before trying to squeeze it out? Then maybe take some antibiotics? I really want to get rid of this from the root, and I heard draining the pus is important. What should I do?

I've been dealing with this itching problem all over my body for about a month now, and I'm really not sure what to do next. I tried using Dettol and itch guard, but they haven't helped. It's pretty frustrating. Any idea what might be causing this or what I should try next?
Itching for a month could be due to allergies, dry skin, infections, or other underlying issues. Avoid scratching, keep your skin moisturized, and wear loose, breathable clothes. Since Dettol and itch guard didnt help, consult a dermatologist to identify the cause and get proper treatment. Avoid self-medicating further.
