This terrible oozing, knot- looking thing on the back of his head. he suffers from eczema but this looks totally different. tried everything. help!

Tried everything?: Can you be a little more specific about what is "everything?" Has the pediatrician taken a look at this lesion on the head? Nothing like direct visualization to know whether fungal, bacterial, anti-virals, or simple steroids will do the trick. Got any pictures you wanna share?

Please see a skin MD: This appears to be an infected eczematous lesion. Please see a dermatologist.
