The bump on your forehead could be a variety of things, such as a cyst, a pimple that hasn't fully developed a whitehead, or even a benign growth like a lipoma. Trying to pop it can sometimes cause swelling and irritation, so it's important to have it properly evaluated to determine the cause and prevent further issues.

We recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Shafa at IrvineSkin in Irvine, Orange County, to have the bump assessed and receive the appropriate treatment.
Hello,
If you don't mind giving me a good name and number so we can go ahead and
get you set up with an appointment so we can get that taken care of for
you?
It sounds like an acneiform cyst, however, a visit to your local Dermatologist would be advisable to determine the nature of the cyst and the best treatment.
