I feel for you, I've had a swollen forehead like this a couple of times...I'm living in Asia. We (my boyfriend is a doctor) kind of figured out it happens when I get too much sun on my head and overheat. I took antihistamines and an ibuprofen for the swelling.

Benadryl as directed and Hydrocortisone and/or Creme applied to the swollen area work well for me. Best clinic if you still have problems... The International SOS medical and dental clinic of Phnom Penh opened in August 1998. We offer high standards of personalized care and assistance to individuals and their families ... www.internationalsos.com

If you are wearing a hat daily it could be a contact dermatitis from an allergy to an irritant in your hat liner pretty common especially mixed with sweat humidity. might try going without a hat till it clears up then maybe a hat without a liner

Same happened me, it was from the sun, getting burnt on hairline possibly. Chlorphenamine Maleate, aka piriton is pretty effective. I also required IM shots of hydrocortisone for 2 days, sorted it out rightly.
