Hello,
There are many possibilities for such symptoms. It can be Kerion, Dissecting cellulitis scalp, Infected epidermoid cyst,Perifolliculitis capitis, tinea capitis or bacterial boils. I feel that without clinical examination,pinpointing a diagnosis is tough. Also a complete examination and biopsy of the skin may be required. Also if it is oozing then culture of the sore may be required. You should get it checked from your doctor.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

I've had this scalp disorder for 15 year and the only thing that seems to help to me are antibiotics no doctor could correctly diagnose my problem, it is a very painful disease at times the antibiotics help me only a couple months and then it flares back up. If antibiotic is not taken and the problem is not treated or the pus underneath my scalp is not physically forced out, it moves into the lymphatic system and has given me painful inflammation of glands in my neck and behind my ears. I would pay a fortune if someone could find a cure for my disease, and not just categorize it as a minor scalp problem that can be treated with Dandruff shampoo or oral hygiene it is far beyond that I wouldn't be surprised if one doctor discover a direct relation ship of what we eat maybe even allergies and a flare up of the intestines the cause for the brake out and not so much a dermatitis problem.
