Sebaceous cysts ruptured

Hi,

My 8 year old basset has a fairly good size sebaceous cyst on her shoulder that ruptured at 4 am this morning of all times

She has these all over her body so I am used to dealing with them. But this one emitted a foul-smelling milky brown substance that i have never seen before. Normally I see a chunky, yellow substance. I tried cleaning it with a wet washcloth but is came off in clumps and flakes. So I'm thinking it might be infected?
