What Causes A Natural Lump On The Forehead?

Hi, I just noticed my forehead was hurting on the left side, I went to push on the spot it was hurting and I noticed a bump. I went and looked in the mirror and I have a large lump on my forehead that must have just appeared. I haven t hit my head or anything like that...

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. From the history of pain in the lump, it seems to be an inflammatory swelling, which could have been due to fiddling of a pimple, or an insect bite which possibly might have gone unnoticed by you. If this was the case, then I would prescribe you with a broad spectrum anti biotic and an anti inflammatory drug for this problem. However, a clinical assessment would be appropriate before starting any treatment, and so I would advise you to get appointment with your family physician or a general surgeon in your area for further assessment and management of the problem.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
