Lump On The Head With Surrounding Area Hard, Later Got Swollen Forehead And Eyelids, Difficulty In Opening Eyes
Hi my friend had a lump on his head yesterday, it appeared to be a pimple under the skin. The area aroud the little lump was really hard. Then when he woke up this morning the area of the lump is wollen, his forhead is wolen, and his eyelid is swollen. He cant even open his eye. He says he didnt hit his head and it doesnt appear to be a bug bite . Please help, thank you!

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Your friend seems to have suffered from an acute infection like folliculitis or an abscess. A direct examination by physician is required to confirm the diagnosis.
Your friend may need broad spectrum oral antibiotics for treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
