Bump On Head Growing. Punctured While Combing Hair. Pus Coming Out And Not Healing. What To Do?

Hi for a couple of years I had a bump on my head that I pick on when I'm stressed , but just recently I had noticed that it has grown but up until now I was combing my hair and the comb bristle had puncture a hole and a lot of pus was coming out so I squeezed it some more and notice my bump was getting smaller but it won't heal and pus just keeps coming out now, what should I do?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

The pus needs to be drained completely under aseptic precaution and then an antibiotic ointment should be applied. I usually prefer fusidic acid for pyoderma in my patients.
You should also have to take Inj TT o.5 cc if not immunized recently and better to get examined by your doctor to diagnose the cause.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
