What Could Be Done For Ingrown Hair At Eyebrow?
Hi, I had what I thought was an ingrown hair at the end of my eyebrow. I had came to a head so I had used a tissue and popped it. It popped with no problem but after that it became very sore and swollen. I not sure what I can do here at home to make this issue better. Thanks!

hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, you may have got a mild form of folliculitis after removing ingrown hair at eyebrow.
my treatment advise would be:
1. take a small course of antibiotics preferably of cephalosporin group for 5 days along with pain killers like tab ibuprofen.
2. apply fusiderm cream twice a day for 5 days.
3. you can go for electrolysis procedure after consulting your dermatologist, if it appears again.
thank you
