okay it was pretty sore today so i got home and i noticed a little blood coming out. i squeezed a bunch of blood out --and it was nothing but blood. not its about the same size but darker and harder. i just squeezed the blood out about 10min ago. is this normal ?

also, if it is a cyst, do not try to burst it or pop it or anything like that as cysts can spread under the skin and create more

It looks to me like a cyst, I used to have one which I got removed in the end. but it's always best to get it checked out just in case!
