My Son Just Developed Bumps on His Head Out of a Blue and His Very Plz Help

How old is your son?
His head is a big area - where on his head?
Face (forehead, cheeks, nose, chin,etc)?, top/scalp, near ears, back, near neck?
Is it a swelling related to a bump of physical trauma (he bumped his head on something?) or a swelling due to swollen glands responding to an infection (mumps, tooth infection, etc)?
Are the bumps big or small?
Are they pox (blister like) - chicken pox, hands,foot,mouth, measles, etc?
Any bug bites?
Does he have a rash, an abnormal temperature, is he acting sluggish, not feeling well?

We're not doctors, we haven't got a clue what's going on and since we don't have any idea what it is - of course we can't recommend any treatment.
Please take your son to a doctor, let her/him figure it out, and then listen to and follow her/his instructions.
If there's a high fever and/or he's unconscious - take him to an emergency room.

Welcome to Mamapedia, S.. We are a community of moms (and some dads) but we are not doctors. Even if we were doctors, we could not diagnose something this vague without seeing the bumps. I also don't know what you mean by "his very" - either there are some words missing or auto-correct took over here.

You don't say how old your son is, how big the bumps are, whether they itch, what they look like - it could be everything from a scalp condition to an allergic reaction to pretty much anything else.

So what you do is you call your pediatrician - even though it is the weekend, you can either leave a voicemail or speak directly to an answering service, and the doctor will call you back. You can describe the bumps, tell the doctor whether or not there is a fever, answer some additional questions, and then the doctor or nurse practitioner (someone who knows your son and his medical history) will be able to advise you whether to come in (if the office is connected to a clinic that has Saturday hours), go to a walk-in care center like Ready Med or other urgent care, or wait until Monday.

Always, always go to your doctor first on medical questions! In the time you have spent posting this question and waiting for answers from random strangers, you could have called the pediatrician and had a call-back from a knowledgeable medical professional. Don't be afraid to call the doctor - that's part of the service they offer, and a phone call costs you nothing!

Good luck!

You haven't given enough information for us to even guess. If they are there tomorrow, make an appointment with a pediatrician.

Acne, shingles, chicken pox, a virus? Take him to the doctor!

You have to take him to the doctor.
