History

"A 22 year old male presented with a bulla under the left ear. He was given a prior diagnosis of an inflammed sebaceous gland and wondered if he should excise it himself. He had a preceding upper respiratory tract infection which started 2 to 3 months ago, but has since passed, along with associated symptoms. The bulla is roughly circular and is 4 cm in diameter. The surrounding lymph nodes were swollen. He was given cephalexin monohydrate and recently started taking twice the prescribed dose in an attempt to clear the infection faster."

....Not sure what else to put - this one was a weird one.
