It sounds like the area where you had the folliculitis shot might be developing an infection, causing pus to leak. This could be a result of the folliculitis not fully healing or a new infection developing.

Here’s what you should do:

Keep the area clean and dry.
Avoid squeezing or irritating the wound.
Apply a warm compress to help drain any pus.
Continue taking your prescribed antibiotics (minocycline) as directed.
If the problem persists or worsens, see a doctor or dermatologist as they may need to drain the boil or adjust your treatment.
