Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pimple on bridge of nose and which is putting pressure on eye, it could be due to infected pimple , allergic reaction or infected hair follicle and clogging of skin pores. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine it physically about its consistency and tenderness to confirm the diagnosis . Mainatin proper hygiene of area. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (clindamycine or minocyclin ) or give small incision under local anesthesia to drain it along with anti inflammatory . For now do not touch , squeeze or pick it with hand .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
