How To Get Rid Of Itching Lump On Back Of Head?

A small oozing lump developed on the back of my head about two days after a haircut. The haircut was not short but clippers were used. It seemed to appear fairly fast. I also was outside alot golfing and thought it could be a bug bite but I never felt anything. It itches mostly but also burns a bit and seems to be getting worse. Any ideas on how to resolve or stop the itching?
