Is it bad to leave skin infection with pus?

My armpit got sore the other day. I didn't know what it was. I found a small red patch of skin yesterday with pus so that would be it. Unfortunately I can't get a doctor's appointment until later in the week. I found some comfort yesterday soaking faceclotha in Epson salts and water and applying that. Unfortunately I'm at work now today since morning and I will be lucky to be home by 8 tonight. I will be looking at a 13 hour day tomorrow as well. So I'm neglecting looking after this. Not by choice.

I have a pounding headache. I don't know if that's related. I came down with a heavy cold last week so it could be that too.

My upper arm is sore and heavy.
