Red Bumps On The Hairline Behind The Ear Spreading To Neck And Face, Increase On Squeezing, Itch On Touching. What Could It Be?
I have red bumps that started in my hairline behind my ear. They are spreading down my neck and to my face. They are like pimples , but they are not. I squeezed one, and it just got bigger and bigger...i think there maybe one starting on the top of my arm now. They get itchy if I touch them, and they are painful like cystic acne (but again, not pimples). What could this be?
