What Causes Severe Swelling On Forehead?
My forehead has swollen really bad, i do not have any pain or something like that. Tho i have used olive oil with garlic for my head to make my hair stop falling that much, actually i have shaved them all. And right after that day when i woke up i saw all of my head swollen, like my head as well with the forehead it all looked more round. Today my head seems more normal but the forehead has swollen even more. What should i do ? Please help me...

Hi,
It seems that there might be having allergic reaction or irritation to garlic application on scalp leading to swelling on the scalp and on forehead.
Wash your head thoroughly with plane water.
Take Benadryl or cetrizine medicine for 2 days, it will work if there is allergic reaction to garlic.
Apply ice pack for 1-2 days.
Ok and take care.
