So this bump showed up at the beginning of the week. I thought it was just a pimple and tried popping it. Well I havent tried it since , since it has swollen up so bad now. It starting to swell under my eyr as well. And it looks like it is infected. What should I do? Hot Compress and popping it or maybe Tea Tree oil...
Thanks.

It could be a ingrown hair, an infected hair follicle, or a cystic acne.

That looks like a pimple to me. Maybe I would call it a zit. Bummer, dude.
Hot compress sounds good. I know you aren't supposed to but I would probably pop it and then put something on it like hemorrhoid cream to help reduce inflammation overnight.

I have had one of those and tried popping it when it was ready and made my eye turn black underneath....I just used hot compresses until it had a good head on it and used a needle to pop it

Yea looks like a pimple love the above suggestions have you also tried clearasil gel you put it on over nite on the zit and it dries it up...I hardly get them anymore but that's my go to when I do and it works pretty quickly.

Thanks ladies , I used a hot compress and popped it and put a tiny bit of tea tree oil to dry it out. Hope this helps...
