Suggest Treatment For Red Colored Lump On The Head

Hi, my girlfriend had a hard red bump on her head associated with a hair follicle, she squeezed it and applied alcohol and continued this process for a day or two. Now the little red bump has become a gaping hole and she is having symptoms of a chest sickness. What should we do?

Welcome to health care magic.

1.As you said the possible cause of the lump on the head with soreness and pain suggestive of the hair follicular infection with collection within.
2.The treatment in tho case would be antibiotic course with symptomatic treatment.
3.In complicated case and which are not responding on the treatment - it should be incision and drainage followed by the antibiotic course.
4.As a remedy do not squeeze, press,scratch the lesion as you will only complicate the condition. Clean with an antiseptic liquid.
5.So, i would suggest to see your GP, gat examined and needful treatment good luck.

Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask do not hesitate to ask.
