Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes A Red Mark Of Size Of An Inch On The Left Temple?
i HAVE A RED MARK THE SIZE OF A QUARTER ON MY LEFT TEMPLE, ALONG WITH INFREQUENT PAIN. I HAVE BEEN USING HOT COMPRESSES. At first I thought it was a boil, but it is not sore to the touch or raised.
Since it is located close to the ear, could I have a ear infection which is producing the pain?

Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello dear,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
I read and understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.
Temple area is very tight attached to the skin. So pain will be more on that area.
It is sounds like some kind of infection.
I advice you to apply local ointment like polysporin.

What Causes A Red Mark Of Size Of An Inch On The Left Temple?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern. Temple area is very tight attached to the skin. So pain will be more on that area. It is sounds like some kind of infection. I advice you to apply local ointment like polysporin. You can also use oral antibiotics like cefixime, pain killer like aceclofenac and serratopeptidase, pantoprazole as a anti acidity drugs. Kindly maintian good local hygiene, since this area is frequent oily area. Frequent face washing can help control infections. Avoid more oily foods, this can help control oil secretion and so infection. Local application of the polysporin ointment can also help. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
