I have a knot of bump that popped up 1 to 2 inches from my ear on my neck right under my hair line. It is very painful to touch. I asked my son to see what it was but he couldn t see it but could feel it. Also I have a few white heads that have popped up in my inner thigh area within the same time frame. Any clue

A short course of oral antibiotic like amoxycillin may be required .Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
