What Causes Lump On Forehead And Swollen Lymph Nodes?
Hi, I m a 26 year old female and I have a lump on my forehead that started out as the size of a small pimple about 6 days ago. It is now as around as a Tooney or 50 cent piece. It does not hurt, it feels hard and warm to the touch. I can t seen any place on it where I would have been bit by an insect and I do not have any allergies. My lymph nodes are also swollen: one under my chin which appeared three days ago! and the other one day ago - both are tender when gentle pressure is applied. My doctor is out until tomorrow.

There could be sebaceous cyst on forehead; however it could be some abnormal growth like a lymph node or lipoma too! the enlarged lymph nodes need evaluation as these might indicate viral infection, tuberculosis and even malignancy!
