Suggest Treatment For Sore Lumps On Top And Back Of Head

Hello, for over a year now I have been getting sore lumps on the top and back of my head. They are mostly smaller like a large pimple but without a head and when they pop a clear liquid and little blood comes out, some of them however grow quite large and painful and then these ones pop large amounts of greenish puss and blood emerge. I have mostly attributed them to the fact that I am a heavy sweater who actively cycles, runs, and swims, I figured the head gear and the sweat caused them... Is there anyway to prevent them from happening and cleare them up? Thanks

General & Family Physician 's  Response
hello,
i can understand you concern.
it seems you are having folliculitis.
i would suggest you to wash you hair daily with water to prevent the seat.
i would advise you a short course antibiotic like amoxicillin and clavulanate 625mg thrice daily for five days to treat and prevent the recurrence of the problem.
this should be sufficient for your condition.
hope you are satisfied with the response .
thanks for choosing HCM.
