A member asked:

I have two sore bruise like areas on the left side of my head, feels like a bruise when touched.. havent banged my head, any ideas ? thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe infection?: Or spontaneous bleeding? Tough to say without looking at it. Sometimes shingles can affect nerves in the area. If it involves eyes, it can be serious.
