Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your have red bump above temple well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like hematoma , a cyst , lump after injured area got infected reactive fibrosis , myositis ossificans or soft tissue tumor . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to bump thrice a day , do not touch or rub the bump with hand and consult oral maxillofacial surgeons for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order certain test like tissue biopsy and will examine physically to check consistency of tissue and tenderness . Doctor may drain the bump by giving small incision under local anesthesia , prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory or may surgically excise the tissue under the lump .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
