Suggest Treatment For Hard Knot Under Skin Of Forehead

Hi, I have been to the doctor five times in the past year for sinus infections. I went two weeks ago feeling sick again, this time my legs felt weak and lymph nodes on neck swollen. He says it sounded like a virus because my throat was raw. I have finished the steriod pack and still antbiotics. I had a knot come up on my lower jawline and its immovable. Yesterday, I had one come up on my esphagus and one come up at my cheek by my right ear. Back in October, I noticed a hard knot, immovable, under the skin, attached to my skull, on my forehead. The doctor told me tokeep an eye on it but I want to know what it is. It doesn t hurt and feels smaller at times but is not going away. It feels hard like bone. Since I don t have insurance my doc doesn t want or feel the need to do blood work. Please give me advice. I am 29,with a 9 year old daughter.

Based on your query data, In my opinion ,Dear You seem to suffer from
Frontal Mucocele in early stage.Repeated history of sinusitis is the cause for it.
Treatment-
Would be to get the X-ray Skull and Check with Ent Surgeon.
He would do the endoscopic decompression of this mucocele under antibiotic cover,as if not done would affect your vision and more complications with it.
