A member asked:
What does a sore lump in the middle of my forehead mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Forehead lump: Most commonly, a sore lump on the forehead could represent a small infection, like a small or large infection. Because the skin of the forehead is pretty thick compared to the cheeks, sometimes, the infection can remain a little more hidden and doesn't look red or have a head visible. Could also be a cyst from skin glands or even a boney abnormality from the skull. Best to get it checked out.
