I've been having this weird swelling on my forehead, almost like I bumped it or got bitten by an insect. It doesn't happen too often, maybe 2 or 3 times over the last couple of months, but it's been going on for about six months now. Can anyone help me figure out what it might be?

Which is more effective for acne removal plastic surgery or laser treatment? I've been struggling with acne for a while and want to know the best option for clearer skin

Laser treatments are generally more effective for treating active acne and acne scars than plastic surgery, although both can play a role in a comprehensive treatment plan. Laser treatments can address active acne by reducing inflammation and bacteria, and they can also improve the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production. Plastic surgery, on the other hand, is more commonly used to improve the appearance of acne scars, particularly severe ones, through procedures like excision or subcision.
