Can you get boils on your eyebrow.?


Question:
at first I thought it was just a zit in my eyebrow, but then it swelled up and really hurts.

Answers:
you can get one any where hair grows.... and that is basically all over the body!, # 1 , now I don't want to scare you but , do NOT mess with this,this is in a very bad spot any boil above your neck is very dangerous to mess with, you can develop a serious blood infection that can go to the brain and the closer it is the more dangerous, do not pick on it... if you can make an appointment with your doctor and let him/ her treat it, if that is not possible , and you want to attempt to treat it yourself, use warm compresses and cover it with a drawing salve, you can purchase at the drug store , but if it does not begin to help in a few days, you definitely will have to let a doctor treat it...like I said please do not pick on it, or try to squeeze it etc... and really consider letting a doctor treat it, best wishes to you!

Yes you can. I n practical you can get a boil anywhere in your body. Sometimes they can be more than 1 place
It's uncommon on the eyebrow, but boils can develop anywhere there is a pore opening to the skin.
Anywhere you have hair on your body, you can get boils or an abcess.
You can get boils anywhere but it may be one of them underground zits. I think they call them cystic when they do that. A boil will still come to a head like a zit but a cystic one will get really hard and never come to a head then eventually it will go away.
Probably an ingrown eyebrow hair. Warm compresses may help to release it, but the Doc can fix that in about 2 minutes.Don't pick at it and introduce bacteria.
It probably is a pimple. The hair follicle gets "clogged" and results in that zit. Not common on the eyebrows but CAN happen anywhere on the body.
A boil has an awful name it's a furuncle or carbuncle, depending if it is multi-headed. Usually there is a large disk under the skin, it is very painful, can cause fever, and probably is staff. You can treat at home if it's not to bad with drawing salve, ask your pharmacist, use at night as it's not very cosmetic, black and stinky. If it's bad, you may need to have it medically drained, cultured, and receive antibiotics, gram pos. or neg depending on the true culprit. DO NOT molest it, because if it is truly a boil they can spread.
