Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Lump smelling bad usually turns out to be a sebaceous cyst.
A sebaceous cyst is a cyst under skin filled with foul smelling cheesy discharge.
You can get a FNAC done and be sure about it. Sebaceous cysts are not dangerous and are treated by surgically excising them.
you may consult a surgeon.
Hope that helped.
