What Causes Sudden Swelling And Sensitivity In A Knot Formed In The Forehead 2.5 Yrs After Head Injury.?

I had a Motorcycle wreck 2 1/2 years ago with a head injury and it left me with a knot on my forehead which is not noticeable, This morning when I woke up and got in shower, I was washing my hair and when I touched spot where knot is it was very sensitive and swollen. When I got out I looked the mirror and noticed that it was very swollen more than usual. I work for a Doctor so as got to work, it has went down some but still real swollen and sore. Feels like I have pressure on my eyes and a slight headache. The only treatment my doctor said was to put heat and ice to reduce swelling and that was it. But I am extremely nervous about it, I feel something else is wrong and why after 2 years would it all of a sudden swell and be sore. My doctor offered no answers, as though I do trust him, but feel like something is going on, 2 hours after I saw him, I feel dizzy. just really worried do you have any suggestions on what this may be or what I need to do? I am sure I need a CT of the Head to be checked out but I hate to suggest to the Dr, cause you know he is the Dr. Help Please.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It is fact that you have a swelling at the site of your previous injury on the head, but the feeling of dizzyness may be a feeling.
Any how i advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment.You may need to have an M.R.I. to exclude the head injury.
The swelling and sour ness may be due to the recent infection, in that area.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to have a good recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
