You may be pressing: on the supraorbital nerve area, where the nerve, vein, artery come out of a certain area on the brow in everyone. In medical school, the pneumonic is 'VAN'. They all travel together & is vasomotor complex going through notches (holes) in the bone. When you apply pressure, and if you also have sinus issues, it may feel more tender if inflamed as you're are pressing on the nerve ending. It's normal
