I have noticed for the 3 or 4 weeks a small bump just under the hairline on my forehead which is very tender to touch.  Also I have on occasions had a little pain across the forehead nothing terrible but just noticable.  Should I bother the doctor or has anyone had anything like this.

    Hi there. The bump could either be a blind pimple coming on or a sinus infection. I had a sinus infection only a couple of weeks ago & I had a large swollen bump on my forehead up at the hairline which hurt & when I pressed on it, it left a slight indent. The pain & pressure goes across the forehead too. If u suffer from sinus, that could be it? Best to see your doctor smile Leah

      Hi Leah, thanks for that comment I must say it makes sense that it is sinus trouble which I always seem to have a mild dose.  I wont worry about it anymore.

      No worries. If it is & the bump/swelling gets bigger, then you'll need to get antibiotics to clear it up. I went on a course & the pain & swelling went away but still have sinus troubles. My face, head & neck hurt 24/7!
