Suggest Treatment For Pus Filled Bumps On Scalp
my three year old daughter has three puss filled bumps on her scalp almost in a cluster, the are crusted over. Should I be concerned, what can I do? we have had a flea problem and have taken all the steps to get rid of them. Im not sure if a flea bite can escalate to this degree? I didn t notice them until she came home from a weekend at her dads.

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having some skin infection giving pus filled bumps.
This might be due to having dandruff, lice or dermatitis.
Give her head bath with antiseptic lotion and then with plane water.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
Go for one oral antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days to clear the infection.
Afterwards give her regular head bath.
Ok and take care.
