6yr old has a spot in his head (crown area). Noticed it yesterday but didn t think much about it ... Maybe scratched his head and it scabbed over. But it was back again this am, cleaned it before school, while washing his head it is very uncomfortable to touch he says it hurts. Looks like it is a little red and has creamy colored liquid draining out

Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, your child may be suffering from chicken pox or mumps-like infection. he needs to get review of pediatrician.
Meanwhile, try washing it with lukewarm water and don’t let your child scratch it much. if painful then OTC like acetaminophen may help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
