What Causes Lump On The Fore Head Causing The Swelling In Eye And Back Of The Head?

What can this be! It started with just a knot on my forehead then spread to my eyes making them very swollen, over a 10 day period I was on strong antibiotics and also received an IV drip everyday twice a day for two hrs thinking it was some infection...this was two weeks ago, and I just noticed today there s a small knot back on my forehead again. Advice please!

HI,Welcome to HCM.I studied your query.I understood Your health concerns.
Based on the facts of your query,you seems to suffer from-Boil on Forehead with Acute Cellulitis(?Streptococcal infection)spreading to periorbital area.Now,2 weeks ago you had another knot on back of head,which seems to be Folliculitis.I would suggest-FBS/PPS-Blood sugar tests for ruling out the diabetes,as causing this recurrent infections with cellulitis.
I would also suggest you to take Second Surgeon's opinion,to rule out other causes which would cause such symptom/complaints,after physical/clinical examination.

Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.

Good Day!!
