Yes, I would take him to the vets, you need to make sure it won't get infected, please get him checked out.

cyst / abcess
Hi, i'm no expert but i think if it smelt foul then it is **** an abcess, the wound needs to be kept open until all of the gunk is out and it sounds like there's still some left in there - it will need to come out or you will be back to square one with a big swelling again!
I would visit a vet for peace of mind, they may flush it out for you and prescribe antibiotics.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will reply soon
