An eyebrow cyst appears as a raised bump of skin in the area of the eyebrow. It might or might not warrant removal or treatment depending upon the cause and type.
Various factors may cause the cyst, such as acne or folliculitis.
A cyst on the eyebrow might also have the characteristics of a dermoid or sebaceous cyst.
In folliculitis , basically, this condition occurs when one or more of the hair follicles on the eyebrows becomes inflamed. This inflammation can result from a blocked follicle or some sort of damage there, such as might be caused by a person plucking his or her eyebrows. The swollen area appears as a small lump in the skin.
Many times, the oil glands in the skin become blocked, causing a soft pouch of skin to develop. When this happens, it is called a sebaceous, or epidermal, cyst. This condition sometimes occurs in the eyebrow area, where the sebaceous glands are located near the eyebrow hair follicles. Normally, an eyebrow cyst caused by blocked oil glands is filled with a thick, whitish or yellowish fluid.
Frequently, an eyebrow cyst is a nonthreatening condition. Still, a cyst should always be evaluated by a medical professional to determine its cause and whether treatment is necessary. This is especially true if the eyebrow cyst appears red, causes pain, or if it appears to grow over a period of time.
In any case don't pop it usually this will cause inflammation and more pain and may be infected .
If its folliculitis due to hair of the eye brows and since you see the black point i suggest this then treatment ,use of antibacterial soaps and good hand washing technique may be all that is needed.but since your bump is inflammed since you had pain, empiric treatment with topical and/or oral antibiotics that cover gram-positive organisms may be of benefit.
You can apply antiseptic soap for washing your face and then apply fucidin gel on the bump and don't pop and after if the bump don't respond you can take oral medicine like augmentine but usually fucidin with wash is all what needed .
If a patient does not improve with a standard course of antibiotics, other causes of folliculitis must be investigated.
