What Does A Bump On The Forehead Indicate?
My husband has been having a tremendous amount of stress in his life and working crazy hours. Tonight a small bump apeared on his forehead. He then developed a bad headache. He took Tylenol but was just now waken up from how bad the pain of his head ache is. He said his head hurts so bad it s a 9 and a half out of 10 on the pain scale from 0-10. Can this be from stress ?

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to furuncle.
It is a skin abscess which is related to the hair follicle.
I recommend taking an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
I also recommend washing frequently the area and using an antibiotic cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
