Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does A Red Rash On The Left Side Of The Forehead Indicate?
Three days ago I noticed a 1/4 inch round red raised area on the left side of my forehead near the hairline. It felt like a bruised area and seemed to have swelling around it. As it has gone down, the same has now occurred on the right side only larger, longer, more tender and with my eyes very puffy today. No headache. I do have a cough, more nasal drainage than usual. I take allergy medication daily but feel as though I ve maybe had an acute reaction to something in the environment.
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like Betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
