Answers:
Could be numerous things such as a carbuncle, ingrown hair, a cyst, a boil, an infected hair follicle or just a plain 'ol pimple.
Being that it has puss & blood coming out of it, my guess would be a boil. They hurt really bad, but after you drain them you should get a bit of relief in a day or two. It may even feel sore from you squeezing it too. If it doesn't go away or feel better in a few days & you have no relief I would consult your doctor. Good luck.
