Suggest Treatment For Sore Spot On The Top Of My Head
I have a sore spot on the top of my head, about the center of my head and maybe a 2 circumference of soreness. I thought maybe a boil? but my wife didn t see a head on it but this is the second day that I ve noticed it. Hard to see if it s a bug bite with all the hair, maybe a ingrown hair? Is this a semi-common thing? I am 32 and in decent health. I work seven on seven off and thirteen hour days, I m not off for another five days and don t want to take time off for an apointment. Can I wait and see how it goes over the next few days?

Hi,
According to your complaints it seems to be furuncle only. You can keep it under observation. I would recommend you to apply topical antibiotic like Neosporin ointment or Fusidic acid cream on the affected areas.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
