Bump Under Chin, Occasionally Size Increases, Gray Pus Discharge Without Blood. Is This A Sign Of Something?

I have a bump under my chin that has been there for a couple of years. It has stayed about the same size, but sometimes gets slightly larger. I finally used a needle to pierce the bump wear I could feel a thin layer of skin (I know, probably not the best idea). The discharge was a gray pus without any blood. Is this a sign of something, or just old pus ?
