Has anyone had a swollen forehead?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Has anyone had a swollen forehead before just above the eyebrows? I also have had swollen lymph nodes behind my ears for about 8 months as well as rashes on my face and neck off and on. Not sure if these are all related but the swollen forehead is really scaring me. I've been to an ENT dermatologist and allergist. I'm waiting on some blood results but no one seems worried. I can send a picture of it if needed. If you had a swollen forehead what caused it and how did you get rid of it?? I've done antibiotics steroid cream and antihistamines and it isn't getting better.

    It can be due to sinusitis. Actinomycosis can also be the cause. Consult an immunologist.

      Thank you! Would the anitbiotics have gotten rid of these?
