How To Treat Pus Filled Lumps In Scalp?
Hi there, I noticed yesterday that my 1 year old son has got scabby/ pussy lumps on the crown of his head. He has a bath every night and usually has a beautiful clean scalp. They seem to have just appeared over night. They dont seem to bother him too much, just a little itchy. What could this be? Should I take him to see a doctor? Thank you..... from a worried mummy

Dear worried mummy.
You are right about worrying for the child.
If these are scabs only you may wait and watch. Many a times they come and go on their own.
If it has pus oozing/filled in, then take him to a doctor ASAP
