Around 2-3 months ago i got a pimple over my right eyelid and popped it, and since i get pimples regularly i didn't think anything of it. My eyelid got pretty swollen and thought it would go down after a day or two, but it hasn't gotten better in months. It has gotten to the point where it is the only thing i can think of when i see myself in the mirror. It doesn't hurt at all when i touch it and is really soft. Do i need to get surgery to fix this?
