What Is The Treatment For A Large Bump On The Head Of A Child?
I have a child that has formed a large bump on his head and it has been draining and pussing and scabs over yellow. Within the last few days he has developed red bumps on his face and upper body and look to be turning into sores? 3 doctors have yet to diagnose him and I am scared this is a serious condition

Hello,
Does your child have a fever? How active is he? Does he have these rashes elsewhere on the body? Does anyone have similar symptoms in the family?
He needs to be investigated the pus and wound needs to be evaluated microbiologically before coming to a diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
