Suggest Treatment For Fluid Filled Pimple Near Left Corner Of Nose

I popped (what I thought was) a pimple near the upper left corner of my nose, kind of where my nose meets my brow bone and it has become so swollen that my left eye is now swollen shut. I can feel that there is still fluid inside of it, but I don t want to pop it because I am afraid of more swelling/infection. Is there anything OTC I can use to help clear this up like arnica gel and ibuprofen? I really want to avoid having to leave my house looking like this.
