My head is exploding

[lazyitus]

Anybody with advice available?

It started 2 days ago - A bit of a lump on my forehead. I just thought it was a zit burrowing through for air but it has developed into an inch long, half inch wide patch of red skin.

As I type, it's burning like mad.

Either my missus has started smoking and has been putting her butt on my head (ooh-er) to extinguish ciggies at night or perhaps I've been bitten?

Please help - I don't want to die.

That sounds nasty. Could be an allergic reaction to somethingh. Get to a doctor man!!!!!

Failing that how bout posting a pic so we can all play at being doctor?

You could try what we call Doctors.

We told you not to mix curry and chips. You ignored us and now look what happens, you've bought it all on yourself. You'll get no sympathy from me

It might be rosaria (something like that anyway) - my Dad had it, went to the Doc's got some cream and it's cleared up. Apparently very common!!

It might be madras seeping through.

I think it's Rosacea actually - sorry brain not working!

Nah-the chips should have helped soak up the worst of the curry. But to be sure just have someone check if you head smells like curry.

Seem pretty familiar with symptoms eh?? Not that I know what the syptoms are...

It could be a stigmata - a thorn mark on your head! Have you got any marks on your feet and hands?

That said, I'd still be tempted to go to the doctors before the weekend if I was you!

[MarshalGirl]

It could be the spicy food this can cause flare ups! No more curry for you!

Could be a boil or something along those lines. What does it look like?

A website said:

Rosacea (pronounced roh-ZAY-sha) is a common but little-known disorder of the facial skin that affects an estimated 14 million Americans

Can't be that, I'm English.
