Is Taking Elequine And Advil Safe For Painful Bumps On Scalp?

My husband has infected scalp bumps and I have been treating them with warm compresses and cleansing them with alcohol. He is also on an antibiotic called Elequine for 10 days that was prescribed by his doctor. Is this all that can be done to cure this problem or should he see a dermatologist? His head is quite painful and he is taking Advil for pain.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the infective lesion of skin then it has to be examined for the puss formation and if it is the puss formation then it may needs draining of puss along with antibiotic hope this information helps.
