Infectious: As described, it sounds like an infectious lesion, such as an abscess with draining pus. Have it looked at by a Doctor as you may need antibiotics. Good luck.

Vague: Bump where? Other symptoms?? Is an infection, I would assume, but should get it evaluated for fear of potential spreading
