Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

It seems you hhave got local infection of hat area, causing a pus formation there.
You might require antibiotic therapy for the same.
I advise you to see a doctor soon, and to get antibiotics prescribed after local examination.
In case pain is severe, you may take Acetaminophen in moderated doses.
I hope this would help you.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
