Pain On The Left Of Head, Noticed A Hard Lump On Temporal Hairline That Hurts On Touching. What Could This Be?
Hi I woke up over night with pain on the left side of my head, I went to the washroom and noticed I had a hard lump on my temporal hairline, it hurts when I touch it. I don t have any headaches or any other symptoms besides when I touch it...at first I thought it was a spider bite but I m not so sure now.. What could this be and is it dangerous?

Hallo
Thanks for your query.You have noticed a painful bump on left temporal region along the hair line.This could be due to a simple boil a staphylococcal infection of a hair follicle.pl take some antibiotic like Monosafe 500 mg twice daily for 5 days Most likely it will subside in a week.
