Suggest Remedy For Bumps On Head With Oozing Fluid
Hi. My son (3 yrs) has a bump on his head (like from an insect bite or ingrown hair). But now it is oozing a clear yellowish fluid from the hair follicles. Not a lot, but some, and the bump is still reddish and swollen. Should I be worried, and is there anything I can do to help?
