Having that exact issue and yes, that tiny thing is indeed the most foul smelling thing on the planet. I don't believe it's on my body, damn!
My dermatologist took a look at it. He said its a benign cyst. He told me that it can be removed if I wished to do so but he recommended leaving it alone as the scar from removing it would be far more noticeable than leaving it alone. So that's what I've done.... Learned to live with it. My is on my neck just below my jawline/jawbone. So it is noticeable, just mostly to myself. Others probably don't even notice it so no need to obsess about it:)
Hope that helps!

I have this foul smelly lump also. My aunt explained to me that these are hereditary, as per her doctor. Nothing to worry about. I really hate that horrid oder also!!! From time-to-time it requires a squeeze, just cover it with a paper towel while doing so to avoid squirting it everywhere. Learned this the hard way.
I have a knot on the back of my neck as well with a foul smell but its only when I squeeze it
Just like the doctor said. ... its a sebaceous cyst (I'm a medical student). It will keep coming vack unless it's surgically excised, and they get the sac that contains it.
I have the same thing, and brought it to the attention of my doctor, he felt the lump on
The left side of my neck and said don't worry about it, yet it continues to fill up and release a
Foul smell that some people standing nearby have said what is that smell, it smells like poop, the first time it burst, it was like the consistency of yellowish cottage cheese, now it just drains a foul clear milky like substance when squeezed, it makes me gag.

62nd withbis it
The doctors told me to drain the pus out and didn't give me anything like antibiotics which I expected to be given. anyways, it'll go away
I've had the same thing hoing on for a few years now. I've noticed the amount of caffine I consume greatly effects it . If I cut out caffine it goes away and stays away. I start drinking it again and a few days in it will start up again. Hope that helps someone. Maybe its not caffine for everyone, might be gluten or smoething else , definitly caffine for me.
Sounds like you have a epidermoid or pilar cysts. (Do a search and look at the images.)

I've had the exact same small bump. Under skin, below hairline, back of neck. I had my Doctor look at it several months ago. My memory isn't all that great, but he said was nothing serious, and he did nothing to it. He might have said something to do with dead skin cells. But, he seemed to think no big deal. The smell is disgusting! Lol ...Don't go on a date and let him/her kiss your neck.Omg ,they would barf! John
My husband has them and when I squeeze his a thick pus comes out like a snake the smells horrible
I also have this my dermatologist is sending me to the tumor clinic here due to the number of basil cell carcinomas I have already had removed. Just keep an eye on it and stay out of the sun
if it has a bad smell it is a cyst
Sounds like a boil. Go to the doctor and have it lanced.
