What Causes Pimple On The Eyebrow?
Hey. Had what I thought was a pimple on my eyebrow. I popped the pimple and went to bed. When I woke up, my eyelid is very swollen, as is the side bridge of my nose. The pimple and bridge to my nose is sore to the touch and a bit hard compared to the squishy swelling. I applied ice and took ibuprofen. Any idea what s happening/ should I go see a doctor?

Hi
According to your complaints it seems to be folliculitis which is inflammation of the hair follicle.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take oral antibiotic like tablet cephalexin 500 mg thrice daily for 5-7 days and apply topical antibiotic like neosporin ointment on the affected area twice daily.
Regards
