Could The Bump On Forehead And Bridge Of Nose Be A Possible Allergic Reaction?

In the last 24 hours, I have swelling at the top of the bridge of my nose/low forehead, starting to extend near the eye socket on one side, but I have not bumped my head, hit anything, etc. No pain-just unusual swelling making it look like I struck my head. No unusual food or other exposure that I can think of that would cause an allergic reaction. Possible causes? Course? Thanks

Hi,

The possible causes are allergic reaction, any sweat gland or sebaceous gland infection or cyst, injury or others. These possibilities are based on your explanation.

Course: If allergy antihistamines will help you. If due to infection in gland anti inflammatory drugs with regular cleaning will help. Some times antibiotics may be required. If cyst then excision can be done based on the swelling size, status.

it will be better if you upload a good quality photo of it for better diagnosis and management.

Regards
