I have two so far and i dont know what to do so they can stop forming. It is very painful specially the one on top of my eyelid. The other one is near my ear it is about the same size of my ear and i am really scared. It started really small like a pimple and know it is huge and purple.

The pain from the abscess feels like stabbing pain and it is very itchy.
