Hello!
Thank you for the query.
From your description it sounds like you have a sebaceous cyst which has gotten infected. Due to infection, puss appears and starts giving pain. If it lasts long enough, the lump starts to leak.
I suggest you to consult a surgeon with this lump. It needs to be incised and removed. To make sure it wont recur, it needs to be removed with the capsule.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
