Suggest Medication For Red Lumps On The Temple
Good morning..My name is Carolyn I am 50 years old and woke up with 2 red lumps by my temple. I went to the DR who said it might be an allergic reaction, I am on prednizone and a topical cortizone cream and its not working. Any ideas what it could be?

Hi
u appreciate your concern
Looking at your symptoms it seems to be a case of allergic reaction or giant cell arteritis
please make a visit to your doctor for the battery of tests like ESR complete blood count
giant cell arteritis which can occur in your age, needs further treatment
Please take some anti inflammatory drugs like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Hope this helps you
