Bump or Cyst on bone

HF1
I was stabbed in my eyebrow area with a pencil. A bump or cyst formed in that area. Almost feels like its part of the bone. Should I be concerned?

It sounds like you are developing a foreign body reaction to part of the pencil left behind from the stab wound. The frontal bone behind the brow is rather deep...almost 1/2 inch deep (6-8mm). The cyst or bump may be left in place unless it becomes infected or inflamed, in which case it would need to be surgically opened and removed.
