Thank you for choosing HCM
It seems that you have a boil or a cyst in the head which is causing the issue. The cyst usually occurs if there is a block in the outflow of sweat and this causes sweat to stay and get infected.
You need to see a Doctor to confirm the diagnosis and then get it treated. The best treated will be antibiotics and then to get surgery done to help you. All the best.
Hope this helps you
