Sore, Pea Sized Lump Within Eyebrow, Hard, Feels Like Lump Having Heartbeat. Meet Doctor?
Hello, I have a sore, pea size lump within my eyebrow. It is very red and sore to the touch. It feels like it has its own heartbeat. I don't know if its a ingrown hair or clogged pore, but I've never had it before. I'm curious if it will go away on its own or will I need to see a doctor? I think its a infected cyst or something. It seems hard.
Seems like you have developed folliculitis. It is an infection of the hair follicle. Presents with a tender, red warm swelling around the base of the hair follicle. It can develop due to sudden pull to the affected hair.
Avoid application of any creams or oils. Keep the affected site clean and dry. Clean it with an antiseptic solution twice a day. Apply some topical antibiotic cream.
Sometimes in severe cases, oral antibiotics and pain killers are also required.
Hope it helps
