What Could Be The Reason For Having Tickles On My Forehead?

Hi, I have been having some tickles on the forehead in the last 3 weeks, just above my left eye, going vertically, it is getting slightly more intensive. Not sure if it is a nerve or more likely a vain. Tickles for 1-2 seconds. Noticed intensity increases after I have a coffee. I only drink one coffee a day maximum.

Hi,

It may be skin infection....impetigo.

It is a bacterial skin infection caused by staphylococcus.

Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

I would recommend you to give her a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs.

Apply antibiotic cream on the lesion.

Improve her immunity and hygiene.

Use dettol liq for bath.

Hope this helps.
