Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain a pus filled pimple over the jaw that discharges a white stuff along with foul smell seems to be due to infection and can be due to either an ingrown hair or hair follicle infection or Folliculitis or can also be due to infected sebaceous gland..

I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist or a General Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised to clean the area with antiseptic solution and apply an antibiotic ointment over it..
You can also be advised a course of oral antibiotics.
At times Incision and drainage can also help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
