Have A Cystic Pimple Near The Eyebrow. Swollen, Have Pus, Growing Larger. Used Benzyl Peroxide, No Help. Treatment?
I think I have a cystic pimple above my left eyebrow. The entire area is swollen and I have tried to drain it but hardly any pus comes out. It's been growing larger and now it's bad to the point where my left eyelid is swollen and it's difficult to to open my left eye. I have been applying benzyl peroxide and a warm towel to help alleviate the swelling but it hasn't helped much.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition can be sebaceous cyst,boil or folliculitis.
A visit to dermatologist will allow proper diagnosis and treatment.
Till the time you can take Tab.diclofenac for pain .Also you can apply caladryl lotion. Definitive treatment would be oral and topical antibiotics for 7 days.
Hope this helps.
