Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
It could be folliculitis or cystic acne over the eyebrows form your descriptions but needs to be inspected before coming to any certain conclusion.
So,it will be very difficult for me to diagnose your condition based on the mere description you have provided.
As you said it is located over the eyebrows.
You may try ,
1) You may need small course of antibiotics like cefadroxyl 500 mg.
2) Also use an antibacterial soap like dettol or savlon.
3) Avoid any kind of cosmetics
4) You can also use a barrier cream with zinc oxide paste or calamine lotion or a mild steroid cream like dermacort.
5) If the bump is itchy,you can take some antihistaminic like benadryl or Claritin.
If the bumps persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
Hope this information helps.
