Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Forehead And Swelling In The Upper Eyelid
I went to the doctor on Friday because my upper eyelid was swollen. It hurt a little bit for a few weeks but I didn t see the swelling until Thursday. He said I have an eye infection and prescribed me an antibiotic and eye drops. Saturday under my eye became swollen but seemed to go down. My upper eyelid is still swollen and hurts and today which is Monday I noticed a lump on my forehead. Not sure what this could be and if it s related to my eye infection? Please help.
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having Herpes Zoster, a viral infection. In this disease pain starts before appearance of skin lesion which happened in your case. This is due to involvement of trigeminal nerve giving rise to lesion on forehead. Another possibility of having infected stye giving rise induration and swelling. Consult your doctor and discuss about this. Ok and take care.
