Take the JAMA Clinical Challenge 73-year-old man presented to the oculoplastics clinic with a 5-day history of a rapidly growing right eyebrow lesion. The lesion was not causing substantial discomfort, and the patient denied additional symptoms, including vision changes. He had a large erythematous nodule with raised borders under the right brow with central ulceration that was draining clear material. Based on the rapid presentation and clinical appearance, the lesion was hypothesized to be a brow abscess. Patient was prescribed clindamycin and erythromycin ointment, instructed to start warm compresses to promote abscess drainage and healing, and told to follow up in 1 week. After 1 week, the lesion continued to enlarge. What would you do next? Comment your answer below. A. Observe with no action B. Biopsy of lesion C. Corticosteroid injection D. Trial another antibiotic Friday at 12 pm ET we’ll post the answer.
