What Causes A Lump On The Forehead?
I have a lump on my forehead above my left eye brow that increase within 2 days, did not hurt at all, I went and saw a PA and this is the second time this happened in 3 months, this time it came with a sharp pain once in a while and I was prescibed (cefdinir) for the second time. The problem is the PA says it is a sinus infection, this time it is a deep skin infection, so not really sure what the problem is, but the antibotics prescribed seem to be working the first time, not sure about this time though, what s your thoughts on this ailment..thanx
