hi..you got sunburn on your scalp..as the superficial layer of skin is damaged by the sunburn there is inflammatory process in the damaged layer of the skin..this cause oedema of the skin which in turn cause the serous secretions...sometime if there is infection then there may be thick pus discharge,,,but hope in your case its not that..do wash the head regularly ..use some antibiotic cream..use anti allergic and painkiller..some soothing cream..hope your problem will be solved..thanks
