Brief Answer:
Hi kindly read below

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The symptoms you are mentioning are suggestive of sebaceous cyst. Considering the lump opened up and pus came out, I would recommend to keep the area dry and apply betadine cream twice a day over the lump ti prevent any infection. Try giving warm compression thrice a day a squeezing out any pus. The lump will subside when the pus is completely out.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
