What Could Scab Like Reddish, Pus Filled Things On Scalp Of A Child With Yellow Round Balls After Removing The Scabs Mean?
My 1 1/2 year old son has been getting scab like things on his scalp. He doesn t scratch but he rubs his head constantly. Some are redish and I think have pus because his hair gets stuck to his scalp by dry yellow stuff and he s also had yellow round balls and bumbs underneath that after you remove it. What should we do what can it be?

Hi
welcome yo HealthCareMagic,
It is very difficult to comment without seeing the patient, two or three possibility
1.Seborrhic capitis with secondary bacterial infection.
2.Fungal infection of scalp with secondary bacterial infection.
3.Pyoderma of scalp.
You need to consult a pediatrician or skin doctor to confirm whar it is and to get prescriptional medicines.
thanks
