Good thing you don't have my job!

That may be "photoshopped," but it looks like a typical (although rather large) abscess, probably staph. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria have gained a genetic advantage that provides resistance to many traditional antibiotics (penicillins, cephalosporins, etc.) -- you may have heard or read of "MRSA" (methicillin-resistant staph aureus). The community-acquired form also has a tendency to cause superficial skin and soft-tissue infections and deeper abscesses (or "boils").

Most smaller abscesses can be anesthetized locally and incised. This guy will need extensive drainage and probably packing material changed every couple of days. If he would cooperate (and has a fairly high pain tolerance), I could do his in the office. Otherwise, he might end up in the OR.

That made me laugh Doc. I had a PCP that was obsessed with removing cysts in his office. I saw him quite a bit socially, and every conversation began with "You know, you could come by the office, and I could take care of that cyst". (This is in no way intended to suggest that you have a similar obsession) It just cracked me up.

the purulent exudate (pus) when incised and drained smells too. I have worn two masks, during these procedures of I and D. They are all in Jaw though. he is "all stapphed up" as they say.
