Brief Answer:
Consideration
Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
From what you described, this sounds like a staph infection. this is a bacteria that is present in the environment and also can be spread from your hands to your eyes or nose or face.
I would recommend that you contact your primary care Doctor Who might be able to provide you with a prescription topical ointment that will help the bike like alleviate your symptoms.
most commonly I prescribe topical mupirocin antibiotic ointment which works very well for this kind of thing.
Thank you again for sending a question.
