I had a boil on my leg which was for 2-3 days normal. But after the 3rd day it started becoming hard and red. Today I popped it and pus flew out. but there's some water drainage too. And there is some pain where boil appeared and some on middle part of leg ( boil appeared near the heel). Is that normal I never had pus buildup ever before.

The redness, pain and pus sound like infection was present. I would probably dab the area with diluted TCP or be kinder and use Savlon or similar antseptic treatment on all the surrounding skin in the morning and evening till clear. But if persists see your GP.
