knot on forhead

[Lillymaywhite]

Ive been having headaches for a long time which my eye doctor and ex-neurologist said it was caused by pseudo tumor. "false tumor" my spinal fluid is too high and now I have seemed to have developed a painless knot that is about the size of a quarter just above my right brow and it wasn't there yesterday.

Thanks it is helpful, I've been going to a nerologist and soon I will be getting a second opinion from another nerologist cause I'm still having problems with my right eye going blurry and sharp headaches. Meds are no longer helping but I continue to take them until doctor says otherwise. They did an LP and drained 57ccs of fluid and again later on they drained 37ccs of fluid off my spine.

Hi there,
A physical examination is very important for determining the correct cause of this eyebrow lump. It is possible that it is an eyebrow cyst which appears as a raised bump of skin in the area of the eyebrow. Other possibility is that it is due to folliculitis.A cyst on the eyebrow might also have the characteristics of a dermoid or sebaceous cyst. Mild cases of pseudotumour may go away without treatment. In more severe cases treatment with corticosteroids may be necessary. Consult a neurologist and get examined. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. I hope you find this information useful.
Best luck and regards!
