How Can An Infection On The Eyebrow Be Treated?
A couple of months ago I developed a bite in the hair growth arched area of my right eyebrow. It has asmall hole black speck with white gauze like around it. I think it might be from a spider web/bite. I have used soap and water/alcohol/polysporin. I also use Zyrtec daily. A white crust ridge forms around it with a hard black scab. It is painful when scab is removed pinpoint hole is getting deeper. Can you help me.?

Hi,
It seems like it's infected.
You can empirically start on antibiotics, preferably Amoxclav.
Apply topical antibiotics like Mupirocin after cleaning with soap and water.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated to rule out any impacted sting or any other foreign bodies.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
