What Does A Bump On Temple Indicate?
Question: A couple days ago I find a bump on my temple and it was small so I busted it and white stuff came out so the next day it was swollen it looks like I hit my head but as today I woke up in pain back and front of my ear hurts when I touch it and feel like my gland it's hurts when I lay down and my neck hurt to and it feels like a hole a lot of pressure on my temple what could be wrong
Brief Answer:
It is infected Sebaceous cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hi
The swelling is Sebaceous cyst. It got infected.
The contents have come out after pressing.
The infection and associated inflammation might have spread to the surrounding structures.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Clindamycin capsule along with anti inflammatory tablet to my patients with similar complaints.
Sometimes, the swelling may reappear as the inner secreting layer has not come out and only the contents have come.If it recurs, it has to be removed completely by a qualified surgeon.
Please consult your Surgeon and get examined clinically.
Nothing to worry.
It will come down .
If you have any queries, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
