How Can Pain And Swelling Around The Eyebrows Be Treated?

I plucked my eyebrows and have a beauty Mark under one of them right where I need to pluck. So it gets plucked and now my whole eyebrow area is huge and red and swollen.. I tried squeezing it once yesterday and one this morning figuring with how bad it hurts and how huge is gotten that it must be ready for popping to get all the whatever out of it. Bad idea. It s even bigger nothing came out
