What Do Lumps On The Jawbone Indicate?

I have a small lump on the right and left sides of my jawbones very close to the ears. They first appeared 3 days ago and were sore. They are getting smaller now and they are not as sore..... Prior to this a fairly large bump which was red and rashy looking appeared on my forehead. Could the two be related? The rashy bump is still there and is somewhat painful
