What started as a soft bump on my friends scalp turned to what we thought was an infected hair. It got sore so someone looked at it and mashed it. A substance looking like pus came out. Very painful. Well we just put some antibotic cream on it and let it go. Yesterday my friend had an itch on the bump and scratched it. A black scab came off then she scratched it again and a black tiny bug came out. It looked like it had pinchers on it. More pus was push out and medicine on it. Today it isnt sore.

Hi Tootie,
Was it a tick, ixodoidea? They can embed themselves under the skin and it will get infected.

Don't think so. She kept it and put it in a jar to bring and show me. Are ticks out this time of year. We've had real cold weather this year. She does have dogs that come in and out of the house. She said its about the size of a piss-ant, black and under a magnify glass looks like it's got pinchers. I will be seeing it later today.

If they found a suitable host then it could be a tick.
It can also be lice. It can change color. I don't know.
