How To Heal Bald Bump On Head Oozing White And Green Stuff?

I have a nickel size bald bump on side of my head for about 1 yr now, well it was smaller at first, well I was brushing my hair and went over the bump and now white stuff was oozing out. I slightly helped some of it to come out by massaging around it. I left it alone and today I did the same thing with the brush I forget its there.. and more stuff came out this time it was just a little bit more runny like a light green. I did not mess it with. What should I do
