What Causes Pimple Like Bumps On My Hairline And Cheeks?

Hi. About 5 days ago I got a tender to touch ball in front of my right ear. I asked my mother and did some research. Turns out I just have some swollen lymph nodes. But what scares me is the pimple like bumps on my hairline. I also have on of the bumps on my cheek. I read something about focollitis? Or something spelt like that but there was also something more serious I forget the name. Could I have focollitis? And what are things I could do to treat it without consulting a doctor?

Hi
Welcome to HCM.
As your lymph nodes are swelled those may be folliculitis. Don't worry it can be controlled. Contact your dermatologist he will take care.
Good luck
