Suggest Cause And Medications Swollen Red Bumps In Eyebrow
I have a hard, swollen bump on my eyebrow. I tried squeezing it, thinking it may be a pimple or ingrown hair, but only clear liquid comes out, and it doesn't relieve the pressure. My eye is almost swollen shut because of it. And it's making pressing against my brow bone, causing a major headache.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having skin infection like boil or ingrown hair infection on eyebrow.
Due to squeezing it precipitated the infection leading to swelling, cellulitis giving rise to swollen eye.
Go for one course of antibiotic like Amoxicilin and anti-inflammatory medicine for 3-5 days.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
Ok and take care.
