Suggest Treatment For Painful Small Bump On The Forehead
I hit my forehead with a corner of furniture. There was a very small bump, it felt almost like acne. I only thought it felt like that, but then i saw a tip forming in day or two. My bump got infected? How should i treat it correctly? (I usually dont have acne s. I get sores sometimes. 3 of them i had to cut open at doctors )
