Patient's question:
I have many boils on my head, and they healed for a while. After they healed, they came back again. Later, when I went to the hospital for a blood test, they said it was a bacterial infection. The boils are not very big, but there are many yellow pus. They might be very painful and keep recurring. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
What you refer to as "sores" are small red rashes on the skin with pus at the tips? If so, that is neonatal impetigo, which is prone to causing sepsis. It is usually related to the child being wrapped too tightly. It is recommended to avoid wrapping the child too tightly again. If the "sores" on the child's scalp are relatively large, with a diameter of more than three millimeters, then it should be considered as an abscess or a true sore. This requires anti-infection treatment. However, if the child develops a fever, then it is really necessary to be vigilant about sepsis. This must be treated. I don't know what the doctors at the local hospital said?
