What Causes Big Bump With Swelling Around Eyes?

Hi, I have a big bump(don't know if it's a pimple or boil on my eyebrow) with swelling that goes down around the eye too. There is some pain and itching too. Very uncomfortable. The swelling is what concerns me. This started about 48 hours ago, and has just gotten worse.
