Based on a close look at both images, here is what the lesion appears to be:

What It Looks Like

The bump above the eyebrow is a small (3-5 mm), smooth, dome-shaped, pinkish-red raised nodule with a slightly pale or translucent center. The surface is intact - no crusting, scaling, or ulceration.

Most Likely Possibilities

1. Inflammatory Pimple / Acne Papule (most common)

A deep papule or early pustule - the pale center could be early pus forming under the skin. Very common in this location, especially if it appeared within days and is slightly tender.

2. Epidermoid (Sebaceous) Cyst

A small benign keratin-filled sac under the skin. These are smooth, dome-shaped, and can become pink/red if inflamed. They tend to persist for weeks to months.

3. Molluscum Contagiosum

A viral skin infection causing small, pearly, dome-shaped bumps - often with a central dimple. Common in children and young adults.

4. Benign Skin Growth (intradermal nevus, dermatofibroma)

A harmless mole or fibrous growth that lost its pigmentation.

5. Basal Cell Carcinoma (less likely but worth ruling out)

Nodular BCC can appear as a pearly/pink smooth bump on sun-exposed skin. Less likely if the person is young or the bump appeared recently.

What to Do

  • Do NOT squeeze or pick at it - this can cause deeper infection or scarring.
  • Ask yourself: How long has it been there? Is it growing? Does it bleed easily?
  • If it goes away in 1-2 weeks, it was likely just a pimple.
  • If it persists, grows, or bleeds, see a dermatologist for a proper examination - they can diagnose it clinically or with dermoscopy, and treat it if needed.
⚠️ This is a visual assessment only and not a medical diagnosis. An in-person evaluation by a doctor or dermatologist is the only way to know for certain.

It is for over 20 days I am taking sulphur homoeopathic medicine for 10 days 4-5 day before it turned blue then again pink

skin bump above eyebrow 20 days turns blue then pink cyst diagnosis

The color change history (blue → pink) is actually a very important diagnostic clue. Here is a more focused analysis:

Updated Assessment

The Color Change is Key

A bump that turned blue/purple and then returned to pink over 20+ days is a strong sign of one of these conditions:

1. Inflamed/Infected Epidermoid Cyst (Most Likely)

  • Present for weeks - consistent
  • Turns red → blue/purple when it gets deeply inflamed or the contents start breaking down inside
  • Returns to pink as inflammation settles
  • The blue color happens when blood pigments or old inflammatory fluid collect under the skin surface
  • Does NOT go away on its own - requires a doctor to drain or remove it

2. Dermoid Cyst (Possible - especially near eyebrow)

  • Dermoid cysts specifically form near the edge of the eyebrow - this is a classic location
  • They are present from birth or early life but often only noticed later
  • Can become inflamed, change color, and swell
  • Will NOT resolve without surgical removal
  • The Cleveland Clinic specifically notes: "A lump near the edge of your eyebrow may be swollen and have a yellow tint... it can change the shape of bones in the area"

3. Cherry Angioma / Vascular Lesion

  • Made of blood vessels, which explains why it can appear red, blue, or purple at different times
  • Smooth, dome-shaped, pinkish-red - matches exactly what you see
  • Completely benign, but does not go away on its own

About the Sulphur Homeopathic Medicine

Sulphur is classically used in homeopathy for skin conditions. The color change you observed (blue phase, then returning to pink) happening 4-5 days into treatment could be:
  • A natural fluctuation in the lesion's inflammation cycle - not necessarily caused by the medicine
  • A "homeopathic aggravation" that homeopaths claim can occur early in treatment
However, after 10 days of sulphur and 20+ days total, the bump is still present. This suggests:
The lesion is unlikely to resolve on its own regardless of treatment, because structural lesions like cysts require physical removal.

Strong Recommendation

Given:
  • Duration over 20 days
  • Color changes (blue phase)
  • Location right above the eyebrow (classic dermoid cyst location)
Please see a dermatologist or surgeon. This needs to be:
  1. Properly examined and diagnosed (dermoid vs. epidermoid cyst vs. vascular lesion)
  2. Possibly removed with a small procedure - which is simple, quick, and leaves minimal scarring
Do not keep squeezing or pressing on it - if it is a cyst, this can rupture it internally and cause a more severe inflammatory reaction.
