What Causes Red Line Come Down The Middle Of The Forehead To Nose?

Hello, Today I noticed randomly that there was a red/purpleish line coming down the middle of my forehead in between my eyebrows, and stopping where my nose begins. I did not bump, scratch, or burn it. This just happened on its own. I was hoping you could help me on why this happened and hot to remove it.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What problems you are facing could be due to allergic skin reaction.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Apply Hydrocortisone cream over the lesion following drying.
3. Avoid scratching or scrubbing over the area.
4. Take Tablet. Levocetrizine if you have itching sensation.
Gradually, the lesion should heal and should be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
