Hello,
It appears that you have got secondary infection on scalp due mutpile causes. Sun burn can cause the problem indirectly but not as main cause of oozing of liquid discharge.
I suggest you to wash your scalp properly with mild shampoo. DO nto scratch and or do not try to touch the area repeatedly.
An antibiotic cream with mild steroid helps a lot in treating the area properly. if at all the area is not getting better then you might require oral antibiotics under medical supervision.
All the best.
