What Is The Remedy For A Painful Lump On My Cheekbone?

Hi, I have had a small painful lump on my cheekbone under my right eye. There is a tinge of redness where the lump is. This morning I woke up and there there was a huge swollen bag under my eye. I used ice pack to reduce swelling, however it is still rather puffy and unconfortable.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having a boil on cheek bone giving rise to cellulitis and swelling under your eye.
Any infection surrounding eyes may cause swelling and puffiness on eyes.
Take one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course.
Apply ice pack on the part.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
Ok and take care.
