Spot under eyebrow is giving me headaches

I know this sounds stupid.

I woke up on Friday with a little spot under my eyebrow. It was just a little red, so I did my normal skincare and left it for bigger and bigger until yesterday, and it was giving me the most awful headache. It felt like a migraine.

Yesterday I tried to burst it, nothing happened but it did break the skin, so I attacked it with retinol and sudocrem. It's starting to go, but moving my eyebrows still hurts and it's still giving me a headache. What can I use on it to get rid?

You could try magnesium sulphate paste? It's all the rage in sporner's corner...

I'd rather it just went at this point, I'm meant to get my eyebrows done next week 😩

Is it an infected hair follicle? Is there one eyebrow hair that’s embedded? You can tell by pulling on them slightly with a tweezer (the culprit will hurt a lot). Pulling that out can pop the spot like a champagne cork.

I don't think so, but I'll have a dig around when I've dried my hair 😂
