Pimple Under Eye? (photo)

April 10, 2013

I get these boils and pimples from the medication I take but I have never had one form under the eye. It is swelling and sore to the touch but not sore on the bump itself, its sore around the bone under my eye. As you can see in the photo the bump is between the eye and nose bridge but the swelling is all under the eye bone. I know you shouldn't pop anything on the face as it's close to the brain, should I be worried about this? Can I do anything to help with pain and swelling? Thank You
