i HAVE A RED MARK THE SIZE OF A QUARTER ON MY LEFT TEMPLE, ALONG WITH INFREQUENT PAIN. I HAVE BEEN USING HOT COMPRESSES. At first I thought it was a boil, but it is not sore to the touch or raised. Since it is located close to the ear, could I have a ear infection which is producing the pain?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Temple area is very tight attached to the skin. So pain will be more on that area. It is sounds like some kind of infection. I advise you to apply local ointment like polypoid. You can also use oral antibiotics like definite, painkiller like diclofenac and serratopeptidase, pantoprazole as an anti acidity Chat Doctor. Kindly maintain good local hygiene, since this area is frequent oily area. Frequent face washing can help control infections. Avoid more oily foods, this can help control oil secretion and so infection. Local application of the polypoid ointment can also help. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
