Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the query.
From your description it looks like your baby is having some abscess on the scalp (it might be associated with fever also).
I would be happy if i can see the photo, so that i can help you better.
Till then try applying fusidic acid cream locally.
Keep the area clean and dry.
Hope i helped you.
I find this answer helpful
