Hello,
The development of red colored bump on forehead is likely to be due to sun burn. You may apply aloe vera for relief of burning sensation. Sun light should be avoided to prevent recurrence. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment for management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
