What Could Be The Cause For Small Bump On My Eyebrow?
I have a small bump (2 mm) on my eyebrow. Appeared suddenly as a pimple but without any discharge. It's just a little bit more reddish than the skin and has a small depression in the middle. It did not go away for more than one month. It's a little bit harder than the normal skin consistency but not too hard, like a keratinic tissue. Please tell me what it could be.

Hello,
with your kind of history, it seems to be molluscum contagiosum, a viral infection, typically described as a pearly small raised lesion with central depression.
I would advise you to get it removed via needle ( needle extirpation) which a dermatologist would do easily. After its removal, apply a topical antibiotic like mupirocin for a week time.
Thanks for an elaborate history
Regards
