Small problems have a way of growing when we ignore them, and the face is where that shows the most.
A swelling along the jaw can start as a single sore bump and, within days, turn into a large, red lump with several yellow heads.
This usually happens when a deep cyst or a group of infected hair follicles fills with pus under the skin.
In men, shaving over the area can irritate the follicles even more and help the infection spread.
The skin becomes tight, hot and painful, and chewing or turning the head can make the throbbing worse.
