Suggest Treatment For A Pus Filled Bump On The Buttocks Of A Child

She says it doesn t hurt but is very itchy. The only thing I have used thus far is Dermoplast Spray. Any suggestions....

Hi
Depending upon size of lesion ( it looks like abscess) you need a course of antibiotics, & painkiller, plus dressing , and drainage of pus if required .
You need to consult your doctor for this ( it needs a physical examination )
