How Can Painful Blisters On The Head Be Treated?

I have a small, painful blisters on the top of my head.It began as one small blister-like sore with pain in that area. The area has grown larger with several mini blisters. The area is very painful topical and slightly below the skin. This has been a problem for 3+ weeks. I have been using over-the-counter pain cream. Do you have any idea what this could be, and what can I do to clear it up? Thanks, Elaine

Hi,

It could be necrotizing fasciitis... so it needs debridement and then covers... depending upon the swab culture and sensitivity you can get the antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
