I had a bump on my scalp for about 6 months it got really sore and I finally busted it but know it's still leaking a reddish liquid. it's not painful after 2or 3 days it fill back up with the reddish liquid. How can I treat this without a doctors visit?
Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, in my opinion, you are mostly having infected sebaceous cyst. Sebaceous cyst is common in hairy area. It is due to obstruction of the duct. So the sebum accumulates in it and cause swelling. If you burst it, sebum will come out. Since the obstruction is there sebum will again fill up and cause recurrent swelling. Best treatment is surgical removal of sebaceous cyst. So consult surgeon and discuss all these.
