Suggest Treatment For Bump With Pustule On Scalp
I have a big bump on my head. It s noticeable when I look straight and has little hair on it. It has a hole in it where the puss resides. Eventually it pusses so much of yellow and red and sits on the top of my head that I have to shower. I have been taking 3 showers a day and it got to the point where I m too scared to put shampoo near it so I don t wash it. And once I shower you can see how clear it is and doesn t even look that effected. It just looks bad when it pusses. I m really scared it s going to effect my brain and I will die.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is not likely not it would extend to your brain but you should have it assessed and treated.
Treatment may involve: (1) the use of antiseptic cleaning solution at least twice a week
(2)topical antibiotics
(3)it is possible that it may need to be incised and drained at your doctor's office
Incision and drainage encourages complete healing.
I hope this helps
