Suggest Treatment For Boils On Head And Pus Of A 4 Month Baby

Hi, I have a 4 month old baby who is suffering from little boils on her head. It's red and has pus and is spreading all over her head. I'm scared of holding her incase I hurt her. I think it could be the hot climate we have here. Please, help me, I can't stand seeing my baby suffer any longer???

Hi,
It seems that your child might be having furunculosis or seborrhic dermatitis giving this problem.
Clean the scalp with antiseptic lotion.
Give her one course of antibiotic oral drops for 5 days.
Ok and take care.
