What Causes Severe Headache After Popping A Pimple On Forehead?
So like a normal teenage girl I popped a pimple on my forehead and now I have really bad headaches and it hurts really bad when I touch it... And I popped it 3 days ago... And it even hurt and gave me headaches before I popped it. Is this a bad thing? I ve never had a pimple do this

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the inflammation caused by the pimple.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication for the headache such as Ibuprofen three times a day.
I also suggest using cold compresses in the area of the pimple.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
