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.

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.
