Suggest Treatment For Small Red Dot On Forehead
I woke up and there was a small red dot with a small dime shaped circle around it on top of my forehead. As the day went on the circle got to be about the size of a quarter and the red dot elongated. When I got home from work the circle started to go away. Next day i still have the elongated red mark but no signs of a circle around it. I am concerned about this just appearing because a week a go I was hit by a flying golf ball right above my temple. My hat kept me from getting a goose egg and I have not exhibited any problems from that incident. Do you think this could be related to the golf ball hitting me?

Thank you for using HCM.
I dont think it is because of the golf ball. This sound more like an insect bite. You can apply a mild steroid antibiotic combination such as fusidic acid and betamethasone twice daily for 5 days
