Suggest Treatment For Infection In Eyebrow Area
I have an infection in my eyebrow area, I am guessing it is an ingrown hair, the infection has involved my eyelid and the lump is about the size of a large pea. Hot packs? Antibiotics? I am 6ft 2 ", 280 lbs, adult onset diabetes. Had chest boil approx. 3 months ago.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The use of hot packs and also topical antibiotics would help. Topical antibiotics should be available over the counter.
The hot packs should be applied 2 to 3 times daily for 10 to 15 minutes.
If the use of the above is not sufficient for resolution then oral antibiotics may be needed.
I hope this helps
