Question:
Painful area above eyebrow? Is it an inflamed vein or smthg?
The area above my left eyebrow feels very painful when touched. It only hurts when touched. And it hurts like hell.
I have myopia by the way, and sometimes I don't wear my glasses.
Answers:
The area above the eyebrow coresponds to the frontal sinus (an air pocket in the bone which is connected to the nose). Individuals with frontal sinusitis may percieve pain in the area above the brow or the pain may even be referred to the eye itself.
Myopia doesn't usually manifest with this kind of pain in this particular area. But it would still be best to be evaluated by an ophthalmologist.
