Don't go too far to the right because I think there might be a big vein there.

I'm going to try to lance it. Hopefully I don't end up doing more harm than good.

Do you have a syringe and saline to flush it once you get the pus out? Betadine to clean the skin first?

I just finished trying to lance it. I used betadine to clean the skin, but not much came out. Just some blood.

Can you post a new picture?

Maybe try a little deeper, clean blood off, then post a new picture.
