Suggest Treatment For Eyebrow Abscess

I just have a really hard staph infection/abscess under my eyebrow, that is EXTREMELY painful, and seems to be spreading. My children and I are all prone to MRSA. I ve been on penicillin 500, 4 a day for a week. Then this pops up two days ago. I m worried with it so close to my eye that maybe I should go ahead and have it lanced?
