I have a sore on my scalp that is oozing yellowish fluid. it is raised like a scab. what could it be?

Boils: That are found on the scalp are annoying and are caused by an infection that occurs in the hair follicles. The best way to get rid of boils is an antibacterial soap which will get rid of all the bacteria. If the condition still persist after 7 days visit your physician for the biopsy test.
