is there an eyebrow hair in it you can pluck out? This should help.

If you're lucky!

if you soak some cotton wool in very hot water & hold it over the painful area it should soften the follicle & bring it to a head.

I agree -- hot compress, then pluck out the relevant hair, then more hot compress, then dab on TCP or similar.
