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.

I'm really curious about platelet rich plasma. Does it actually work for bald spots? Is there any chance that it could help with hair regrowth? And if I decide to go for it, do you think my hair fall will stop, or will I still need to rely on medications? Also, I'm a bit worried about the cost. Can you give me some guidance on that?

I've been having this annoying allergy on my face for the past couple of days. It all started after I used this Lotus sunscreen with SPF 40. My skin just started itching and it feels like an allergy. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Avil or levocetirizine to help with this? Any advice would be appreciated.

-Its possible that the sunscreen triggered the allergy. Both Avil and Levocetirizine can help with itching, but Levocetirizine is usually preferred as it's less sedating. If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a doctor for a proper assessme
