It sounds like you are developing a cellulitis, which is an infection within the skin. This can be particularly dangerous if it is near the eye. You most likely need strong antibiotics to get control of this right away. Go to emergency or urgent care and get this looked at by a doctor promptly. If there is an actual abscess there, it also may be necessary to drain it. Antibiotics won't be enough by themselves. So get seen right away and get it taken care of. Hope this helps.
