This is probably not thyroid related, but I thought I'd ask in case someone is able to shed some light into this puzzling phenomenon. My older son has had a red mark appear overnight last night on his forehead, between his eyes. He usually has a painless pressure headache beforehand. It has happened several times recently. The mark usually disappears on its own in a few days. Just a bit of his medical history: He suffered from anxiety and panic attacks and more or less stayed in bed for three years. He slept all day 12-15 hours, staying up at night. He has been better for a year but recently his anxiety has returned and he is quite stressed. He has just turned 20. Here is a link so you can see a picture of a similar mark:
Created acct to respond. 52 yrs old. Started getting red mark in the last year or two. Thought it was glasses and then today it appeared for the first time in months. Haven't worn glasses in the last few weeks. Today was feeling off ... a little depressed, mild headaches, physically tired & nauseous. Plus started new job working from home & last two days have been stressful & exhausting. Then I happened to notice the mark. In reviewing these replies it would appear others have experienced the same thing. Side note: also intuitive, sensitive, em-path & the mark is that third eye location. And today have also sensed a feeling similar to oppression.
I get the red spot too. We all seem to be highly intuitive to where it's called gifted. This is interesting. I would love to converse with some of you people. My spot seems to appear before a major event in my life. I just don't know what it's going to be. What's strange is nobody seems to be able to tell me what is causing this. I can't even find web sites except for this one. I would like to know what we have in common.
Hi Tiera I'm wondering how your son's doing. Has their been any progression in his diagnosis? I 26 and I have what appears to be the same dot, i have since I was a child. It comes and goes every few weeks and lasts for a few days. It is typically accompanied by high energy, a greater level of insight and an internal warmth. I hope you receive this well. If this is still a thing have your son reach out to me I'd love to hear his story as I am piecing together my own.
I singed up here just to comment on this. I have this exact same thing and have not been able to hear any explanations for it. I am actually 26 as well. From what I have noticed in my experience, this red mark comes at times when a lot of change is going on (can be good change as well) and I am stressed in some ways. Most notably it tends to come when I do not get adequate sleep. Honestly, I wonder if it has something to do with the eastern concept of the third eye (which according to the chakra system also regulates our sleep). I have also been going through a lot of personal life changes and have had a lot of epiphanies and break throughs and wonder if that is related as well (6th chakra relating to intuition and higher knowing/knowledge).
This is kinda what I feel as well. Specifically 3rd eye and the epiphanies. I feel a connection to the dot and my energy levels. I've always been very intuitive and insightful. The times my dot appears are definitely linked to free thought. I've also been diagnosed bipolar and the dot shows up pre"mania". However my manias are mild, so more like "hypomania". I've seen doctors noone knows what it is or why it's there. Thanks for your input. This is also the sole reason I signed up I've been waiting for a reply since I made this post. Thank you.
Yes same here, as far as always being very intuitive and insightful. I’m what people call an old soul. I was actually diagnosed as being on the high end of the “gifted” spectrum as well. I have also wondered if this mark is related to the Indian or Hindu culture of the red dots they wear on their foreheads in roughly the same spot - to them, it is about the third eye. I wonder if our body’s are actually manifesting the same thing, just somehow biologically, for whatever the same reasons are that people wear the artificial red dots on their third eye spots. Of course, everything I’ve found on this online so far in western medicine etc. has not been able to explain it at all.
Thanks for your insight what's the gifted spectrum, and where can I find doctors like yours lol. I've been getting shoved into a box since I first began trying to understand my mental health. A box I don't fit in. I also relate it to my third eye, and yes hindu dots. If only there were real answers. Thanks again. I hope to hear from you when you learn more about yours. Till then namaste.
Look for functional medicine practitioners, alternative and holistic health practitioners. Gifted spectrum is like “high IQ,” kinda tends to come along with the whole old soul thing.
Yeah sounds about right. Is this where you got your diagnosis? I was referred to a functional med practitioner. I haven't seen them yet. I should probably make it a point to set up an appointment. As far as the dot goes. Your guess is as good as mine. Good luck out there.
Hi!! I've made an account just to get on this and say I am also 25 going to be 26 in November. 11/11 to be exact. I've noticed it happens about 2 times a year since I've been 18. I also read Tarot and Oracle cards. I've always been highly intuitive and after my dad passed away at 20. That's when I decided to start using my gifts. I woke up this morning with it on my head and I really am fed up lol I had to google about this! And I'm so gladness I found other people who this happens to, who are also highly intuitive.
I am a 31 year old man, and I have had this issue for the last few years. A bright red mark will appear between by eyebrows/eyes. It comes and goes when I least expect it. While I used to wear glasses, I now wear contacts. I believe it is induced primarily by stress, fatigue and eye strain, or even by over-washing the face resulting in dryness. Some people have small hairs that can also be irritated. I often just apply a little cream, or hydrocortisone cream (over the counter) and it usually goes away within 24-48 hours.
Wow this is so great I'm highly intuitive and have definitely going through changes and raising my Dimension and this has happened before and I was really concerned I thought it was a health problem but I guess it's a spiritual signal and it's nothing to worry about thank you so much for sharing your experiences this is what's great about the internet feeling grateful
The Mirena gave me spots at aged 47 when I had never had acne before and also made hair grow on my face, it is the artificial progesterone ... horrible device. I had to make my GP remove it after 15months because she kept saying "let it settle down" I ended up with an inflammed cervix because of if and I had have a biopsy on my uterus and cervix. You should read the class actions against Bayer by women who have been damaged by this device. Some women do however love it because it stops their periods.
I wish I could send a pic. I have a red line about half an inch long right in between my eyebrows. Reading the commence it’s weird that most are around 25-26 Atleast from what I’ve read through and I’ll be 26 next week. Also this popped up yesterday and I always sleep great with no issues and last night I had some of the worst sleep I’ve ever had. I woke up a good 30 times throughout the night. I’m going to try and do more research because I never would’ve presumed it had something with a deeper meaning. I’m also more of an empath and someone who is more of a bigger picture thinker where I don’t let emotions make decisions. Coincidence? Idk maybe but very interesting to give thought to. If anyone gets anymore insight I’m excited to hear it.
Hi, my son is now 24, nearly 25 and he gets these red marks frequently. He thinks caffeine causes them and has stopped consuming caffeine. Interestingly, he is gifted too. Since my initial post he has been diagnosed with a non 24 delayed sleep disorder. Some of you mentioned that these red marks appear after a bad night’s sleep. The sleep disorder makes him feel ill and jet lagged. He eats gluten and lactose and casein free diet now. He is almost certainly on the autistic spectrum but he has refused an assessment. His younger brother has Asperger’s Syndrome. I hope this helps someone.
Like many of you I have signed up to discuss this issue. A slight red oval shaped mark between my eyes.
I have encountered this several times over the past 15 years and
I woke this morning to find it again!
I do not wear nor have I ever worn glasses.
I am currently going through lots of change, despite the corona virus issue that will of course raise many people’s stress levels, I have recently split with my girlfriend.
However, that was two weeks ago now, since then I have been exercising more, enjoying hobbies that I neglected and am generally happier with myself than I have been for a long time.
Sorry if this makes things more confusing I just thought sharing my own experiences may also help find an answer.
According to a dermatologist Dr. Colin Theng, "if the small bumps on the forehead do look like clogged follicles or comedones there are prescription medicines such as tretinoin cream that can help to clear and control these bumps."
"Treatments like chemical peels may also help to speed up the resolution if they are persistent."
"You should see your doctor to get this evaluated so that the appropriate treatment can be prescribed."
As you can see on the image here [imgur.com/A7P4q61], I have this small red mark between my eyes as well from time to time. These are the facts:
- Recently, I told spirit to open up my third eye and remove the chalk on my pineal gland;
- The night before the red mark appeared, was short (lack of sleep), possibly stress-related;
- The evening before the red mark appeared, I drank two cups of coffee (I didn't drink coffee in four months);
- I never wear glasses.
The relation between coffee and a bad night's sleep might be obvious. The relation between coffee and a red mark between the eyes, not as much, although I see you mention caffeine in this thread. I found a channeling stating the following: "Caffeine has the ability to open the 6th chakra, also known as the 3rd eye. It works on the innermost portion of the chakra, that which we would see as the core."
I will pay attention next time after drinking coffee to see if the red mark reappears.

I occasionally wake up with this red spot between my eyes. It seem I am always going through a stressful time and its gone in a couple of days. Is there a possibility this is linked to stress??

I'd have to say this mark is totally due to stress (mostly from scrunching forehead/eyes.)I remember getting this mark as early as 11 y/o.
I always thought it was related to being tired. Over tired actually, physically fatigued. I HATED sleeping when I was young and many times lived with 4 hours.
I'm over tired right now as a matter of fact and I only slept 3 hrs 2 nights ago (I'm 55)
and I'm still feeling it. Selling/buying house, many seemingly un-solvable work problems.
I have the spot right now.
I only wish it was a positive aka my 3rd eye opening up etc.
