What Could Growing Bump On Back Of Head Oozing Thick, White, Smelly Pus Indicate?
I had a bump on the back of my head, under my hair. Thought it was just an ingrown hair, but it never popped and kept getting bigger. So I finally popped it. When I did, a very think white pus (much thinker then the kind that come out of a pimple) substance came out. The weird thing is that it smelled really funny.

Hi
Welcome to hcm
That was sebaceous cyst. Only puncturing is not adequate. It require complete excision. Or else it will recur. See a surgeon for it's removal.
