What Is The Bump On The Eyebrow After Getting Hit?

Is it possible to develop a cyst from being punched in the eyebrow? I'm a 16 year old female who is 5' 2" and 100 pounds. It's on the left part of my left eyebrow. My brother punched me in the eye area about 6 weeks ago and now I have a large bump that looks a lot like a cyst. Its red and purple-ish in places and about the size of a marble.

What i gather from your question
- punch on left eyebrow
- punched 6 weeks back
- now there is a large bump which look like a cyst
- its red and purplish in places

On basis of provided information it appears to be hematoma formation which now lead to fibrosis. You need to see a surgeon to examine the swelling and he might advised some investigations to reach the diagnosis. As for hematoma its unusually long time to resolve.

I hope this will help. Wishing you best of luck. Do rate my answer if you like it.
