Pimple On Ear, Tried Popping, Swollen, Hurts Terribly, Radiating Pain, Headache, Unclear Vision

I just recently( few days ago) noticed a pimple of sorts almost directly in front of the targus of my right ear. I unfortunately tried popping it with no real results but the area has become swollen and hurts terribly and the pain radiates all the way down my lower jaw to my chin and stops directly before crossing to the left side. I also have a horrendous headache and my vision on the right side doesn't seem as clear but I am unsure if it is from the headache or just the general misery of the jaw pain I am Expirencing. Can it be possible that what I thought was a pimple has become infected and is causing this pain?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having sebaceous cyst or hair follicle now becomes infected giving rise to all these problems.
there might be having enlarged, painful lymph nodes as well.
Go for one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course.
Ok and take care.
