Hi.
Thanks for a perfect history, almost like a book description.

Most probable reason is : Supraorbital neuralgia; pain of neuralgic origin, in this case the small nerve above the right eye on the forehead called Supraorbital nerve.

Consult a neurologist to confirm the diagnosis, get a proper treatment , which is prescription based and discuss about the further modalities.
