It is a round bump that looks like a huge pimple. It sits on the top of my shoulder. Every once in a while it will secrete a thick whitish brown puss.

Definitely an abscess. Be careful, because you can develop a nasty staff infection...which you definitely don't want. You should visit your Dr if you have had it for some time. They will clean it for you and probably give you antibiotics.

Puss = infection. Whatever it is, it requires medical attention.

it is a cyst. good thing is, most have to have it lanced for drainage. usually these are hereditary. your best bet is to have it removed. it is not cancerous.
