Burning Rashes Near Temple, Sore Bumps On Eyebrow, Forehead And Scalp Followed By Recurred Swelling. No Itching. Thoughts?

I started with a rash on the right side of my face near my temple and noticed a few bumps on my eye brow that were sore. I then had a small rash on the center of my forehead, and noticed a few "bumps"on my scalp in a few other areas. I cleaned them with an alcohol swab.........a few days later I woke up with a swollen eye. Theoughout the course of the day, the swelling went down....but when I awoke the following day the swelling was back. The rash is a burning type of rash.........almost looks like poison oak, even though I know it isn't. No itching. The swelling is around my eye and my upper cheek area. No eye redness.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having Herpes Zoster.
There might be having ingrown hair follicle infection as well.
This can be decided only after seeing the lesion.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
