How Can A Painful Popped Blister Under The Eyebrow Be Treated?

I had a hump lump under my left eyebrow on the bone. I don t break out often (I am 38) and wasn t sure if it was a pimple or bite. I left it the first day but last night it woke me out of a dead sleep because it was throbbing. It has this odd center like a whitehead. I popped it. My eyelid to the corner of my eye by my nose is pretty swollen now, which the eyelid dropping. What can I put on this? I iced it today, did bacitracin and am now on preparation H. Thank you

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history you are having folliculitis. My treatment advice is - 1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for 5-7 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like Levofloxacin and Azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
