Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have symptoms of fluid filled bump on forehead which is because of folliculitis. It could be erythematous lesions with pus in center of the lesions and bacterial infection of hair follicle. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription. You should take Amoxycillin in combination with clavulanic acid thrice daily. You should take anti inflammatory drugs like nimesulide daily till you get good result. You should take antibacterial cream/ointment 2% mupirocin can be applied twice daily.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
