I've noticed my forehead is swollen just above my right eye. It's not itchy or painful and measures about 1 inch wide by 1.5 inches in height. A couple of nights ago, my head was really itchy, and I had big, itchy bumps all over my shoulders. I'm not sure if that's connected, but what might be causing the swelling on my forehead?

he sudden onset of a painless, non-itchy swelling on your forehead, coinciding with a previous episode of itchy bumps on your shoulders, could be related to an allergic reaction, insect bites, or angioedema, but other possibilities include a forehead cyst, eyelid stye, or a side effect of a medication; to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, it's recommended to consult a dermatologist or primary care physician for a thorough evaluation.
