Reason For Bumps Near The Eye Brows After Picking?
Hi I plucked my brows yesterday morning and then later in the day I formed this bump around where I plucked them. I did pick thinking it was a blemish but then the bump got bigger and my eyelid swelled up. I woke up this morning and the swelling was worse. It isnt painful. It only hurts when I touch the bump. What is wrong with my eye?

YOU SEEMS TO HAVE DEVELOPED INFECTION IN HAIR FOLLICLES FOLLOWING PLUCKING OF EYEBROW HAIRS, POSSIBLY WITHOUT PROPER SKIN CLEANSING WIT ANTISEPTIC LOTION . HENCE YOU HAVE DEVELOPED REDNESS, LOCAL PAIN AND SWELLING. YOU MAY NEED SOME ANTIBIOTICS AND LOCAL SKIN CARE FOR WHICH YOU ARE ADVISED TO VISIT YOUR SKIN SPECIALIST RATHER THAN PICKING MEDICINES OFF THE SHELF.
