A member asked:

First night on vacation in a hotel. woke up with pink/skin colour pea sized bump on forehead. was never there before. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Difficult...: It is difficult to tell without taking a look at it. Could be an allergic reaction, an insect bite, irritation, etc. If it is itchy you could try hydrocortisone if you can get it over the counter in your country and if not better follow up with your doctor.
