My advice is to run these questions & symptoms by your prescribing physician or dermatologist who ,more than likely, has much more experience with this medication than the physicians on this panel.

Forehead aches in one small spot at the top and hurts to the touch. No lump, sore, or bruise. There's a vein there. Dangerous?
