Swollen, Itchy, Red Spot Around Eyebrow. Applied Hydrogen Peroxide. Is This Serious?

Hello, for the past couple weeks the skin under or around my eyebrow as been itchy and red. I applied some hydrogen peroxide to the area because I believe it infected. Almost immediately the redness turned white and dried up but now the area is also swollen. I don't know if this is a serious matter where I should seek medical attention or is there an over the counter remedy. Thanks for you time and help.
