Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a inflmmed lump above eye near bridge of nose.
This can be a cystic median like sebaceous cyst or dermiid cyst.
Since it is inflamed now the treatment is by use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
Once the inflammation is controlled surgery may be required for its excision.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
