What Causes Hard And Painful Lump On Forehead?

I have a lump/ knot on my forehead. I really don t remember when it appeared but when I pull my hair back tight enough that it pulls my skin and the fluid goes some where but when I take my hair down or it loosen the lump/ knot comes back bigger. It use to fell soft now its getting hard and it hurts a little.

, Thanks for the query.
You might have developed furuncles. These are deep bacterial infections.
Treatment is with antibiotics but the choice of antibiotics should be based on culture and sensitivity tests.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
