What Causes Swelling Between Eyes?

I have some swelling between my eyes/upper nose. Yesterday I stupidly tried to pop a pimple that was undeveloped and today I look like an Avatar character. How do I know its from trauma and not infected? The pimple was fairly deep under the surface and was rather irritating even prior to the self mutilation.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a swelling between eye and upper part of nose. Since you give history of meddling with a pimple like swelling it can be a infective swelling like infected sebaceous cyst.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
Later the swelling may require surgical excision.

Thank you
