What Causes A Painful Bump With Fluid Discharge Behind The Head?

I have a painful bump on the back of my head...it feels like it s about quarter sized, and when I scratched it a while ago it started oozing sticky liquid...it happened again last night without pain, I slept on it, and it is still wet but hurts like someone is jabbing their thumb in my head.
