Boil In The Corner Of The Eye, Hurts When Trying To Pop It. Suggestions?

Hi, I have a small boil (don t know if I can call it that as I have no idea what it is lol) on the corner of my eye. Please note, its about half an inch away from my eye and its in that groove part which makes it really hurt whenever i try to pop it. I don t know if it has anything inside but it sure looks so. It doesn t hurt or bother me much; it just interferes with my eyeliner :) whenever im drawing a cat eye. How can I get rid of it?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.

You might have developed furuncles.

These are deep bacterial infections.

Treatment is with antibiotics.

You can apply an antibacterial cream like mupirocin.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
