A persistent pimple on your eyebrow can be frustrating and concerning. Possible Causes 1. Infected hair follicle: A bacterial infection, such as folliculitis, can cause a hard, painful pimple. 2. Ingrown hair: An ingrown hair can cause inflammation, leading to a hard pimple. 3. Cyst or abscess: A cyst or abscess can form under the skin, causing a hard, painful lump. 4. Allergic reaction: An allergic reaction to a product, such as a hair care or makeup product, can cause a skin reaction, including a hard pimple. Home Remedies 1. Warm compresses: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times a day, to help bring the pus and bacteria to the surface. 2. Tea tree oil: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil and apply it to the affected area to help reduce inflammation and combat bacteria. 3. Aloe vera: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to help soothe and calm the skin. Medical Treatment 1. Consult a dermatologist: If the pimple persists, worsens, or becomes severely painful, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment. 2. Antibiotics or topical creams: A dermatologist may prescribe antibiotics or topical creams to help clear up the infection. 3. Drainage or extraction: In some cases, a dermatologist may need to drain or extract the pimple to help clear up the infection.
