1 1-2 Weeks Ago I Noticed A Lump On To

1 1-2 weeks ago I noticed a lump on to of my head. It got larger, nickel size. Over the next 5 days I had random lumps on head &face. Lumps developed at base of skull and throat. It itches. 1st lump got red and has since developed a scab. Other lumps have reduced in size and have mild redness. I could feel them develop & within a day they flailed up. Lasting about 6-7 days. I have been extremely tired, ran a low grade fever. General achiness.R ear plugged. Taking decongestant for head plugged ( no symptoms of cold), ibuprofen for headache/aches. Started prednisone 5mg -Monday 5 tablets, tue 4 tablets, wed 3 tab, etch at will be last 1 tablet does.
