How To Treat A Bump In The Head That Sends Hot Flashes Through The Body?

I woke up with a bump on my head. But it is not a normal bump. It is red, the size of a dime and hurts SOOO bad! When I try to pop it nothing comes out it sends a hot flash threw my body and gets bigger. Help please. I poked a hole in it & tried to squeeze it but only blood came out

Dermatologist,  's  Response
I have gone through your query and it seems to be furuncle which is bacterial infection of the hair follicle.
I would recommend you to take a course of oral and topical antibiotic and anti inflammatory medicines for 7-8 days.
This will resolve it.
