Ingrown hair or MRSA, I thought it is just a pimple so I popped it and white puss came out

Answered by a doctor

I don't know if I have a really bad ingrown hair or MRSA. It kinda looks like a big pimple on my knee. Assuming it was a pimple I popped it and some white puss came out. Now there's a freakin hole in my skin, on the top of the pimple thing. There are 2 other little ones very close to it.
