General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Although a definitive diagnosis is possible only by a personal physical examination, from the history, it seems that she has got a simple sebaceous cyst above the eyebrow, which is a harmless benign cyst except for the cosmetic problem, and a superadded infection at times causing it to be inflamed with related complications. If I were her doctor, I would refer her to to a general surgeon who might consider for an excision biopsy of the lesion under a local anaesthesia which is the treatment of choice.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of her problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
