What Causes Reddish Inflamed Area Between Eyebrows?
Question: I developed a red raised area between my eye brows. At first I believed it was a pimple. Five days later ot was still painful and raised and I was beginning to have itching and shooting pains to my right eye. I have no blisters or drainage. I have had the shingles vaccine several years ago. What can I try to improve the symptoms? My doctor put me on Reflex two days ago with no change in symptoms.
Brief Answer:
Corticosteroids cream and alcohol solution.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
We could judge better about the nature of the forehead lesion if you could upload a picture of it.
However, it is probably under skin tissue inflammation/infection such cellulitis, folliculitis that is causing the raised area.
Local application of Alcohol solution 70%, 5-6 times a day should help improve it.
If the skin over the raised area is intact, use of topical cream such Methylprednisolone ( Advantan ) also is indicated.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you for your response. Do you think the Reflex needs to be taken along with your suggestions?
Brief Answer:
Reflex didn't worked for two days.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
If reflex didn't helped you after two days of use, I don't think it needs to be used any longer.
Hope I helped you.
Take care.
