I can't find the correct medical term I want to use. I have tried and tried.

the are is red, swollen and droopy.

it is on the inside of the eyebrow, lower next to the eye and against the top of my nose. it's not my eye, it's more between the eyelid and eyebrow.

it's getting worse. but I can't find anything on it cause I cant articulate where it is.

anybody know?

The corrugator muscles are located there. Does this help?

facial muscle of forehead; origin, from orbital portion of musculus orbicularis oculi and nasal prominence; insertion, skin of eyebrow; action, draws medial end of eyebrow downward and wrinkles forehead vertically, conveying facial expression of deep thought, worry, or concern; nerve supply, facial.

Synonym(s): musculus corrugator supercilii [TA], Coiter muscle, corrugator muscle, wrinkler muscle of eyebrow

you're good but almost. it's lower. and goes to side of nose. it stays red, puffy and swollen. more droopy.

my mom had to have eyelid surgery cause her eyelids drooped over her eyes. mine is just this area.

almost looks sty like but wrong location.
