Suggest Treatment For Pus Filled Lumps On Face And Head
Hi,
I keep getting puss filled lumps in various places. Get them on my back which have been leaving scars, also on my face. Most recently the back of my head where it has left bald spots. Is there anyway to stop this as its quite embarassing?
Thankyou

Welcome to Health care magic.
1. The history seems like infective aetiology probable causes could be hair follicular infection with collection of pus within.
2.In this case a course of antibiotic will be helpful to treat the infection.
3. Use antiseptic liquid in the water used for bath and head wash that will help in disinfecting the area.
4.Never ever press or scratch the lumps, it only increases the healing time and increase infection and complications.
5.Maintain cleanliness of the hair and area hygiene to avoid further infection, mean while a course of antibiotic can be requested from your GP. good luck.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
