I had a abscess lanced two days ago on my upper leg is bleeding and I have increased pain. Is an abscess supposed to bleed?

Yes it can drain after being lanced. Usually these are packed and slowly you pull out the packing at home. This will allow the abscess to close from the inside out. It should stop bleeding/draining if it continues for another day or so I would seek further medical attention just to be sure it is healing appropriately.
