Is It Safe To Pop The Swollen Bump Below The Eyebrow?

Current condition: under my right eye brow, one of the hair follicles is very swollen. After I plucked in brow area, there is now a big mass bump under skin just below eyebrow. It is causing my entire eyelid area to swell. Shall I pop the bump and release or reduce pressure?

it can be an abscess and popping might spread the infection towards the eye. Please send me the picture of the lesion so that I can suggest you better.
