Hello
Dont worry ,These swellings are not dangerous and arise due to bacterial infection and many times you dont have to burst them!
Please apply mupirocin ointment 2-3 times a day and keep the area clean, the swelling will subside.
If it does not reduce in 3 dys, meet your doctor for draining the infection and starting you on antibiotics.
