How To Cure Big Painful Bump Along With Small Bumps On Infant's Head Back?
Hello, my five month old baby developed a series of small boils on her back head, we took her to doctor who said its not big concern. However, we used warm water mixed with antiseptic solution to get rid of them. Days later, a big one came up inches from where the smalls were, its red and it has been developing from the last one week. It didn't develop any head yet but making painful for the kid to sleep. Please help.

Thank you for consulting HCM.
it might be some local skin infection which can be caused by poor hygiene, poor ventilation or lack of sanitary measures when handling the child. I suggest u apply some antiseptic cream on it three times a day and improve hygiene and ventilation. If it does not recede in a few days then consult ur nearest GP.
