What Do Facial Swelling And A Lump Under The Eye Indicate?
I woke up with swelling on one side of my face yesterday. After touching the swollen area, I noticed a rod shaped lump under my skin right between the bag of my eye and my cheek bone. The area where the lump has continued to hurt when touched but the swelling around the lump has gone down after applying a heat compress. I should note that I had popped what I thought was a pimple a couple of days ago near the lump and I wonder if that might have caused an infection.

What Do Facial Swelling And A Lump Under The Eye Indicate?
Hi, Swelling around the eyes may be due to infection at the local site or it may be due to renal or cardiac failure in case of dependent edema. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what is the cause for it. If you have redness or itching then it may be a local infection. Dependent edema may be due to the renal or cardiac problem. Please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
