Suggest Medication For Small Bumps Pop Up On The Scalp Leaving Patches

hello, My 15 month old son is having some sores pop up on his head in dime size patches. small pimple like bumps that will eventually secrete clear fluid and dry to a crusty yellow scab color and will spread out from that area. He also has small pimple like bumps popping up sporadically all over his body but are not clustered together and do not scab over like the ones on the scalp. He is on his second round of antibiotics for his scalp right now. Any ideas?

Hi, I'am Dr Suresh K Yadav MD (paediatrics), I had gone through your question and understand your concern,

Skin lesions in scalp if there is boggy swelling may be fungal infection of scalp with secondary bacterial infection , in that case only antibiotics treatment will not help , he will also require anti fungal treatment in addition to antibiotics . Also shampooing of hairs 2-3 times a week with medicated shampoo will help. But it's it requires a proper diagnosis , you should seek help of paediatrician of dermatologist. You can also upload photos at this site .
