How To Cure Bump On Head Oozing Pus?
My son has a bump on his head the size of a quarter, it has scabbed up and is oozing pus. I have tried cleaning it with dandruff shampoo and put triple antibiotic ointment on it but nothing has helped. I don't know what it's wrong, can you please help me?

Hi.
Since when is the bump and the pus coming out of it ?
I think He needs an additional oral antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines. Do not use dandruff shampoo, as it is not meant this open wounds at all. Do the dressing twice daily with triple antibiotic ointment with a sterile dressing material.
