Brief Answer:
pigment producing bacterial infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have read your query and here is my advise.

* The discharge of green pus indicate infection with bacteria producing pigments.

* Ideal approach requires pus culture report with antibiotic assistance to heal it
completely according to the sensitivity results.

* Currently can put sterile gauze piece immersed with triple antibiotic ointment after
cleansing with normal saline.
Control of blood sugar is of vital importance.

If you can provide a photo picture of the lump as an attachment in follow up conversation, I can still guide in further details.

Wish you best health.
Regards.
