question: Hi I am 48 yr male, 6 1 220lbs. I have a clean medical history. No issues or allergys. Heart disease does trun in my family. But I have no heart issues. Anyway my problem is on my forehead. I always had a slight what I would describe as a slight soft fatty tissue under my skin under my hairline the size of a penny. It was not noticebale except to me really. This created a small soft bump. Not really a problem physically or appearnce wise. Recently I got a haircut and couple people asked me if I bumped my head. I had not but they noticed the bump. I figured it was because of my shorter hair they noticed the bump. Well 2 weeks ago I noticed the area was inflamed & reddish. I assumed it was an acne eruption or I got a chemical reation to something at work. I treated area with heat pad & ice along with some cortizone cream. The skin broke and now their is a soft tissue that protrudes up slightly. It does not hurt when I press down but creates a bump and is reddish. I treated it with iodine and hydrogen peroxid. It is not infected. Just seems like what I thought maybe was a small cyst is on my forehead. I rubbed the cortizone cream on the wound whch is size of a penny. The wound is not really healing after over 2 weeks. It s not an open wound. Just the skin is very rawish looking and pink. When I rub on the sac like cysts it feels tough like cartliage rather than skin. I am going to see my primary care doctor a board certified internist. I was curious based on my description what you thought it might be and if in your opinion with proper care. That I might be able to get my forehead looking like it used to be. As for now I am walking around with a regular sized bandage on my forehead which is kinda embarrassing. As I said it s not bleeding, nor does it hurt. Just looks like I have a sore that has not healed on my forehead. My thinking is it s a cyst of some kind that needs either antibiotics or possible removal. As I said it s size of a penny. If it were not on my forehaed I would not be as concrned as I am. It s worrying me that I am permanently going to be disfigured or something. Thank You-----Tim In Indianapolis.
