Lg lump formed under skin on forehead

2017-06-16 04:17:43
Had acute sinusitis lasting about two months. Was treated with two courses of different antibiotics. Also sudafed, zyrtec, and saline flush. Had been feeling better for about two weeks. Three days ago I noticed tenderness on my forehead. This evening I have a golfball sized lump under the skin. Sudafed not helping, nor hot/cold packs. Very painful.

It is not normal to have sudden swelling in your forehead. It may be an abscess secondary to acute frontal sinusitis. Immediately consult nearby ENT specialist. You may require aggressive treatment
