What Is The Treatment For Lumps And Swelling On Face ?

Hi. Two days ago I woke up feeling like I had a scratch like cut across my left eyebrow and lid because the skin was tender all day as if cut. When I looked in the mirror in the evening, there were no signs of scratches or welts. Yesterday the feeling persisted, and throughout the day a lump on the left side of my neck developed that was sore as the day wore on. Last night the tender spots on my face began to swell until my whole left eyebrow was swollen. Also, my left ear closest to my jaw line began hurting as if there were a lump at the intersection of my cheek and ear. This morning I woke up and the swelling extended to my eyelid and my neck is still the same. I don t know what this is or what to do.
