Hello -- I'm a new user, and I come to you all with a concern and a request for advice. I'm a 19 year old female college student. I do not drink, smoke, or do drugs. I lead a fairly healthy lifestyle; I'm fit, and for the most part I eat right ;P
That being said, on to the concern:
Two days ago, my roommate pointed out a small bump over the arch of my left eyebrow. There was no redness to it, the only odd thing about it was it seemed to have formed under a small chicken pox scar (had the pox when I was 6ish). Normally one would automatically assume it was a pimple of some sort, and that's what I wrote it off as. But for the most part, I have been acne free for two years now, and as of today, I started to feel a slight pain when I furrow my eyebrows or touch the bump. Getting irritated I went into the bathroom and examined it closely. Perhaps it is an insect bite? There is no visible puncture marks .. I poked it, ignoring the pain. If I push it hard enough it moves slightly under my skin. That's what alarmed me ..
Then I contemplated lancing it to drain the fluid as one would do to a pimple, but the skin it's under is a bit too thick, and it IS my forehead after all. I quickly forgot that idea.
That's not all. I seem to have another bump/cyst on the same side where the soft part of my lower ear meets my skull. This one seems to have swollen slightly, and it pains me to tense my jaw or yawn.
I didn't want to spend the money to go see a doctor if it was nothing and I was worrying over nothing, after all I am a poor college kid. Any ideas or suggestions
