Suggest Remedy For Painful Swollen Lump On Forehead

Hi, I had a very swollen painful lump on my forehead that hurt for a week. Now the swelling had gone down a bit, but the lump remains. It s larger than a quarter and very soft to the touch & itchy now. I don t know whether to go to the ER or wait it out.

THE LUMP YOU ARE DESCRIBING COULD BE A CYST WHICH CAN GET INFECTED AND SHOULD BE EXAMINED BY A SURGEON. IN ALL PROBABILITY IT WILL NEED REMOVAL BY A SMALL SURGERY. YOU MUST VISIT ER/ SURGEON.
