Suggest Remedy For Small Scab On Hiarline
Hello. My 14 month old daughter has a small scab looking sore right above her hairline. It looks like there is a little pus in there. Honestly it look like a burn would, scabbard and filled with pus. I know for a fact it is not a burn and I keep her really clean so I m not sure if it could be ringworm. She has had no contact with other children who could have ringworm. I even took some pictures what could this be? Thank you

Hi,
Which ever is the cause but from history it seems that there might be having some scalp skin infection producing this scab with formation of pus.
clean the part with warm water and apply antibiotic cream for 2-3 days.
She will be alright.
If problem persisted then consult your doctor and rule out ingrown infection, fungus or dermatitis.
Ok and take care.
