Could The Bump On Forehead Above Eyes Be A Result Of Stress?

I have bump on my forehead. This has been my third time past 3 months. It's been in differnt area above my eyes on my forehead. I've been rubbing it somehow then it gets more red and bigger. I rub it because has a slight itch to it. I'm 38 years old. My parents think its from stress maybe. I do have a picture I can send to of my forehead.

Hi,

It may be mild soft tissue infection or impetigo or periporitis. You may be having poor immunological status with stress. You improve immunity with immunoboosters. Have blood test to rule out DM,HIV, anaemia or other systemic disease. Take a short course of antibiotics with anti inflammatory drugs. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
