Expanding infection: This sounds like a bacterial infection is expanding in the deep tissues of your face. It needs to be evaluated & treated by a doc before it gets any worse. Go in as soon as you can.

I've had a soft bump on the top right side of my tooth for a while that would drain on its own. Now, there's a new bump in between my gums and cheek. I have got a swollen face and it pains. What should I do?

I have a small bump on the back of my head looks like it could be a cyst, acne, or folliculitis. The spot is the same color as the skin. It has clear fluid and blood draining from that spot. Fluids have bad odor. Suggestions on treating this spot?
