Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for your query,

I would say that they are hardly few conditions which present with headache and a rash on forehead which are related.

Still I will consider that I would be able to answer you better if you can provide me with some more information over the problem like :

1) Which part of the head is it paining ?

2) Onset of the rash in relation to headache ?

3) Approximate size of the rash ?

4)Do you have other associated symptoms like joint pains , muscle pains and fever ?

5)Do you similar rash elsewhere in the body ?

It would be more easier to answer if you send me the picture of the rash to my Inbox.Kindly mail it to YYYY@YYYY with sub: ATTN Dr Raju.

Will wait for the information.
