What Causes Bump On The Top Of The Head?

My daughter(2 yr old) has some sort of small bump on the top of her head. It s about the size of a pencil eraser, in diameter. She says it hurts when I clean it. It has liquid coming out of it, which dries onto her hair...making her hair stuck to the sore area. I m assuming this is some sort of bug bite since we were outdoors all day on Saturday. I ve been putting neosporain on it. Is there anything else I should do?
