How To Heal Bald Bump On Head Oozing White And Green Stuff?
I have a nickel size bald bump on side of my head for about 1 yr now, well it was smaller at first, well I was brushing my hair and went over the bump and now white stuff was oozing out. I slightly helped some of it to come out by massaging around it. I left it alone and today I did the same thing with the brush I forget its there.. and more stuff came out this time it was just a little bit more runny like a light green. I did not mess it with. What should I do

The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is scalp folliculitis.You might need to apply a topical antibacterial cream like mupirocin on the affected area. Oral antibiotic tablets like azithromycin might also help. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
