Exudate: If your wisdom teeth are present , the likely hood they are either impacted or partially impacted, that means you have infections associated with teeth , (cysts)my advice seek the help of your dds to diagnose your problem

Not a gland: There really isn't a gland behind the wisdom tooth. This could be periodontal disease, a cyst or a tumor. You should have a clinical evaluation and x-ray of the area. See an oral surgeon.
