Cyst or lymph nodes: You have a bump that drains pus at the bottom of head. These are either a sebaceous cyst that continues to drain or an infected lymph node. If you see a surgeon it may be something that can be removed.

Skin bumps: These bumps may be ingrown hairs that become inflamed and turn into pustules. The bacteria involved are usually staph. When frequent scalp or neck pustules keep occurring in crops, I feel a 10-14 day course of an antistaphylococcal antibiotic like dicloxacillin is necessary to eradicate the infections and stop their recurrence. Ridding the staph from your skin is the cure. Or see a dermatologist
