What Causes Lump On Forehead And Swollen Eyelid?
I woke up this morning with a lump on the right side of my forehead, and my right eyelid swollen. I don't recall banging my head at night, and didn't during the day. The swelling of the eyelide has started to reduce. What do you think the cause is? Thanks

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If there is no clear history of trauma then the swelling may be related to allergy, insect sting or infection.
If an infection is present then you would need a course of antibiotics.
It would be best to see your doctor for an assessment to determine the cause if it does not resolve quickly.
I hope this helps
