A bad smell is usually a sign of infection, so please see your doctor as soon as possible.

The yellow stuff may indeed be puss (if you have an infection), but don't confuse it with lymph. Lymph is more watery than puss and usually straw coloured until it crusts, when it becomes more yellow. Lymph is natural and brought to the site of any cut carrying 'building materials' to repair the wound.
