How To Alleviate Swelling Across The Forehead?
yesterday my husband noticed he had a breakout of bumps along his hair line. Before he went to bed he noticed there was some swelling so he put some cortizone cream on it. This morning when he woke up, there was was dried drainage from the swollen area. As the day has progressed, there is swelling now across his entire forehead.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is possible that he may have an infection in the area that needs to be treated with oral medications.
Swelling, drainage/discharge can occur with skin infections.
If an allergic reaction was present, itching would be one of the dominant symptoms.
I hope this helps
