See Dr.: You need to be evaluated and treated. Could be several things, most easily treatable. If it will be a while before you can see the Dr., make certain you do not have head lice by combing with a fine tooth comb and looking for critters. If none, try some antidandruff shampoo while waiting to see Dr.

Skin infections: Pus on the skin is usually the symptom of a skin infection. When red, warm to touch and painful it is called cellulitis. Treatment of this includes oral antibiotics and occassionally drainage. See your doctor, because resistant infections are becoming more common and require special treatment.
