Can A Scalp Lump With Swelling, Pus Causing Hair Loss Be Treated?

My daughter had a small bump on the top of her head. It was swollen and then burst with some liquid coming out. She has lost her hair in this area, about the size of a marble. The bump has returned, but the hair has not grown back. What should we do?
