What Causes Swelling In Forehead,headache And Rash On Neck?
The middle of my forehead is swollen. I can press my fingers on it and the depression marks stay there for a bit which I assume is caused by fluid. I also have a rash from my neck area into my chest. My temp. is 98 degrees. What could be causing this? I also have a slight headache.

Hello,
You may be suffering from either a food or drug allergy. If you have recently been prescribed a new medication and the rash appeared within 1 hr. then, you should avoid taking that medication.
If you've just eaten some type of food for the 1st time and broke out with the rash then, that item may contain some allergen. A cold wash rag over the forehead may make you feel better and help take the swelling away.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
