Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Left Eyebrow With Growing Knot On It

Hi, good evening, My name is Todd. My urgent question is that my left eyebrow is swelling my left eye shut. I noticed three days ago I had a pea size knot, that has progressively increased in size. It s now the size of a quarter and swelling my eye shut. I have taken benedryl hoping it was an allergy related, but has had no affect on it. I do not have medical insurance currently, and it s late. Sorry to bother. But I am concerned. I look like on the left eye like Rocky from the first movie, swollen. It has increased in size all day. My eye ball isn t red, and I have clear vision so far. Almost feels like a bite they way it has increased. There is a tiny white dot just below the brow, it hurt to touch the area earlier today, now it does hurt, however it has increased in size! Had headache earlier on that side, now I do not. Need help please, thank you in advance...

General & Family Physician 's  Response
This can be due to eye brow hair-root follicles infection or insect bite. Take some antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs after consulting your physician. The pain has subsided but the swelling is still there which is not good.
Meanwhile apply warmth to that area, this will soothe and reduce your swelling.
