Can A Hard Lump Between The Eyebrows Be Treated?

Hi, Today is Wednesday and I am getting married on Saturday, and I have a hard lump in between my eyebrows! I went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist said that he thought it was a cyst. I have applied acne cream and hydrocortisone at different times. It s been there for a week and a half and is showing no signs of leaving :( It is about the size of half a pea and rock hard. Any super fast solutions greatly appreciated. Thank you

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Noted your history of having a hard pea-sized swelling between eyebrows for which you have applied acne cream and Hydrocortisone and want fast solution as you are getting married within few days.
Since there are only 3-4 days left surgery was the only solution but the edema may appear after surgery which may take many more days to settled.
Hence it is difficult to predict the timing required for edema to settle which may look worst than the swelling.
Hence I would advise you to for for marriage now and go for surgery after some time.
Do not fondle the area.
Take some antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications along with oral steroids which may help to reduce the size of the cyst.
Consult a General Surgeon and see when to get operated.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
