What Does A Lump On Head Indicate?

Hi
I have had a lump on my had for a while. It recently started to hurt. When my husband had a look he touched it and smelly puss started to come out. It keeps feeling up with puss that we squeeze because when it is filled with puss it becomes huge and painful. Now more blood than puss comes out and it seems very aggravated.

Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and am sorry for the situation you are in.

I need to have a picture of the lump on the head to get it further analyzed by myself.

From what you are describing, I'd advise to consult with dermatologist to evaluate the lump further.

Meanwhile, I advise to:
- keep a good local hygiene
- wash with warm water and soap
- rinse it well
- dry it well
- apply hydrogen peroxide locally
- then, apply iodine locally
- then, apply antibiotic cream locally

Wish fast recovery!
