I have a cyst on my face the size of a gumball by my ear it has been there twenty years it is now leaking and stinky what do i need to do?

Preauricular cyst: Does it look like that? It is an embryonic remnant that can get infected. if it is leaking stinky fluid and is red and painful it is likely infected, time to see your doctor.
