Lumps On Head Spreading. Rash Near The Eye. Allergy?
Hi. It started with a large bump/sore on my head. And now the bumps are multiplying and they also hurt really bad. My right lymph node is swollen and I also have a rash looking irritation above my right eye. All the sores are different in size. Is this commonplace during the spring time? Is it allergic reaction? I think I'm going to wait it out.

Hello,
If you have history of allergy to pollens then it may be likely due to allergy.
But by the presentation it looks like bacterial infection to the scalp.
That is why you have multiple inflamed swelling with enlargement of the draining lymph nodes.
It may be seborrheic dermatitis which may be secondarily infected.
Consultation with a dermatologist may help.
