Red mark on forehead between eyes

[strangemark]

Hi,

Over the last 3-4 years, I have noticed that everytime when (or just before) I fall ill, I have a strange red mark on my forehead (sometimes between the two eyebrows). The mark stays for 4-5 days and then vanishes and exists almost everytime I fall ill or have a headache. I have shown this to few physicians at the time of falling ill but they have all ignored saying that it is not something to bother about. However, with the regularity with which this happens, I wonder if it is a sign of something significant.

Yesterday, a much larger and bigger mark appeared on my forehead suddenly in the afternoon. I didn't rest my head anywhere during that period and was simply sitting in a train. The only thing that happened during that time was that there was a serious personal problem that cropped up and hence I was quite stressed during those 1.5 hours. When I walked out of the train, someone pointed out to me that I had this mark. Again I was clueless on how it happened as it is completely painless, with the only logic striking to me that it is related to stress levels too.

I am attaching a snap that shows yesterday's phenomenon.  The normal mark that happens is not as thick and is more like a short but broad red line.

Hope someone can help me out with what this is or the kind of specialist I should consult for this.

Cheers!

Hey guys, opened this post of mine after a long time. Over these years i have kept getting this mark for 5-6 times a year. Over time, i have narrowed this down to largely linked to headache caused by digestion issues (not eating timely, improper food, etc). 90% times it has occured with a bad headache and vanishes within 3 days. Doctors still have no response or feedback and continue to ignore.

One user posted this link and it makes sense to me -

I have this too! I've looked at facial mapping and it seems potentially connected to liver function.. I notice it much more when I am not taking care of myself; drinking alcohol, eating sparsely or indulging in sugar too much - so I can believe that it could also be digestion related. When I eat healthy and don't drink any alcohol for a few days it gets much harder to see (but I can tell it's still there).

Yep me too.

I started thinking negatively about half way through the day the day before. Then I woke up and unleashed anger for many petty things towards my partner who did not deserve it. We talked right after and things are ok.

I'm both disturbed and fascinated with this seemingly undocumented phenomena. The consistency with which people link this symptom with stress, anger, nightmares or lack of sleep must point towards some physiological reason.

I had everything mentioned above. Nightmares, stress, negative thinking and anger.

I think the best we can do until we get a more solid answer is take it as an indication that we need to change something in relation to our lifestyles.

Look after yourselves and take it easy, Wayne.

I don't know how far it is silmilar but i have been experiencing strange marks near my eyes and nose from a long time. It appears slowly with a tiny red marks and day by day that marks starts getting bigger in size. I feel no pain or any kind of itchings but it really looks ugly though. Once i consulted my doctor and she said it might be due to eye infections because it those marks only appear near my eyes so she provided certain medicines and eye drops. But it didn't seem to be helpful. Those marks appeared again. They appears and vanished itself without doing anything.

I saw article below. The red mark is an indication of a health issue.

I've had this come and go for years. My conclusion is that it's a weak blood vessel that leaks blood during times of high blood pressure.

Yes @MightyMick! I came to the same conclusion. Though it can appear on its own when I'm run down or stressed, it most often appears if I blow my nose too forcefully. Since I'm usually fairly fit and healthy and on no medication, and there are no itches or burning sensations, nor is physical contact a contributing factor, I am inclined to agree that the cause is a weak blood vessel. I think if users were to check their blood pressure at the time the mark presents, it is likely to be on the high side.

It really isn't a rash.  It looks like a scratch but the skin is not broken.

I don't think it has anything to do with anuerism.  I have gotten migraines for years and after my sister died from brain anuerism I had an mri to make sure I did not have one also(my father also has anuerisms).  I have no anuerism just migraines and the red mark.
