White swollen bump on eyebrow after plucking.

I do not pluck my eyebrows often, but now i did and got a relatively large white not painful pinkish pump on one of my eyebrows immediately after plucking and its not going away?

How long has it been there?  Did you use tweezers to pluck the hair?  It's possible that you left a part of the hair in, which is causing an ingrown hair.  They can go away on their own, but it does take time.  Make sure you keep the area clean and I wouldn't recommend picking at it- that may cause the issue to get worse.
