Red dime sized lumps on forehead appear to be spreading

[Kg3333333]

I'm a 31 yo male and a few months ago a large red bump appeared on my forehead over the course of a few days. I visited a GP and went through three different courses of antibiotics with no success. Actually, the antibiotics seemed to make it worse.

I know that there is a mold problem in the house I live in so I'm curious as to whether this is a fungal infection. The lump is firm, produces no pus and itches rarely. A culture was done to determine if it was MRSA which came back negative.

Recently, I've noticed what appears to be two more coming up in the same general area. I have pics if that would be helpful. Thanks in advance

Hello,
It can be a cyst, swollen lymph node or benign skin growth. You need to get this lump examined from a surgeon and get a FNAB (fine needle aspiration biopsy) of the lump. FNAB is aspiration of the material of the glands which is done by a fine gauge needle (22 or 25 gauge) and a syringe.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
