Suggest Remedy For Lump On Forehead

So I have this bump on my forehead...I thought it was a pimple, tried popping it. It got badly infected to the point where my eye is swelling up and any touch hurts it. I have pictured if you wish to see but km just wondering if it should go away or if I should go in

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having ingrown hair follicle infection or folliculitis and by trying popping it precipitated infection giving rise induration, swelling and cellulitis.
You might require one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course.
Clean local wound properly and apply antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
