Pus filled bump on chest

I have had this bump on my chest for at least 5 years now. It has scarred my chest. It will get a little smaller when it drains itself of pus. But always returns. I have been put on two different antibiotics and neither worked. The bump is rather large, hard most of the time, never seems to have any kind of head to it. It is so embarrassing.

Have you mentioned to the doctor that prescribed the antibiotics that they are not helping?  Have they told you why they gave you an antibiotic?   It could be a cyst or something similar- the doctor should be able to even remove it.
