Severe Headaches, Itch Above Left Temple, Tiny Bumps Under Skin, Swelling. Cure?
A few days ago, I began to get severe headaches . The next day, I had an itch just above my left temple. It felt like a few tiny bumps under the skin. It continued to itch. Later that day, it started to to turn red. Now, it is a few tiny red bumps in a circle about 1 inch wide. It is slightly swollen, itchy, and very painful. My headaches seem to be coming from this general region also.
