In the past I ve had a lymph gland in the back of head near my right ear, with antibiotics it went away. now I have a painful area on the left part of my scalp, but its not swollen at all, it just hurts, can you shed some light as to what it might be.
The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is furunculosis which is an infection of the hair follicle.It can be treated with topical antibacterial creams like mupirocin.You must avoid pricking or fiddling with them. A short course of oral antibiotic like azithromycin might also help. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
