Sounds like sunpoisoning, I have had it before and it is basically 2nd degree burns from too much sun exposure. It wouldn be best to see a doctor. In the mean time definately avoid more sun exposure to the affected area and if you must be outside cover the area. Your doctor can best advise you as to how to treat this and what meds to use. You don't want to get any kind of secondary infection from this so see a doctor as soon as possible.

Anything that oozes yellow pus is an infection ..I would go to your doctor, you will probably need antibiotics to clear it up.
The scalp is awfully close to the brain so you don't want it to spread!
And wearing a hat would be a wise idea in the sun from now on, the skin will probably be hypersensitive to future exposure to sunlight

From Dr. Kalpana Pathak, Dermatologist
Sunburn occurs due to ultraviolet rays of sun. It presents itself as red skin, swelling, itching, pain, blisters and oozing skin. This yellow liquid discharge is nothing but serous discharge that has dried to form crust. Do not be concerned, the discharge just implies that you had a severe sun burn.
To treat the same avoid sun exposure. Do cold compresses. Apply a topical steroid antibiotic cream ( like flutibact) for few days. If there is pain take a pain killer ( ibuprofen) and if there is itching you may take tablet cetirizine. If the concerned areas are dry apply a bland moisturiser like cetaphil.

only if your scalp becomes badly infected also you may need to use a shampoo that wont sting your scalp and make it any worse then it is
