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.
