Pus pockets in my roosters comb

[Idaho rooster]

I got a picture of my roosters comb. Sorry it is fuzzy and I have a weird expression on my face. I think it is a little better. When I squeeze it now, the pus does not ooze out.

Does he act normal? What color is the pus like substance? Is his comb hot? Has anything happened to him recently or anything possible that could have happened to him to injure him?

He acts totally normal. His comb is not hot. The pus is yellow and smells. He has had this for about a month.

hmm that is odd. I unfortunately have absolutely no clue what this could be, let me tag a few people who might know?
@azygous @Wyorp Rock yall have any idea?

Have tried cleaning them with a qtip?

It may be an infection..
A wound left untreated.

Are mosquitoes active where you live? The comb lesions are consistent with fowl pox, likely dry form. I've had good luck using Blu-kote on comb lesions such as your roo has. He will enjoy strutting with a purple comb for a few weeks and likely will set a new fashion trend.

Looks like dirt/debris/dead skin that's accumulated in the nooks and crannies of the comb. It's not that uncommon in rose or walnut combs.
Most dig or press the debris out using a qtip, orange stick, etc. You can apply a bit of anti-fungal cream if you wish, but it will attract dirt/debris. You may find that you will need to periodically wash or clean the comb.
