Hi! Welcome to HCM! Lump smelling bad usually turns out to be a sebaceous cyst. A sebaceous cyst is a cyst under skin filled with foul smelling cheesy discharge. You can get a FNAC done and be sure about it. Sebaceous cysts are not dangerous and are treated by surgically excising them. you may consult a surgeon. Hope that helped.
