Is Tenderness Under The Eyebrows Suggestive Of Sinus Issue?

Posted on Wed, 24 May 2017

Question: I have tenderness under/on my eyebrow. Is it a sinus thing or a bone issue? It has been there awhile and doesn't hurt unless I touch it. I haven't had an injury there that I recall, but months ago may have gotten a head butt from a toddler? I don't know. My sinuses seem clear.
