What Causes Swelling From The Bottom Of The Eyes To The Top Of The Nose?

I have a red bump on the bridge of my nose it showed up about 2 days ago, looked like a pimple and I popped it. Yesterday it started having some wierd clear liquid coming out of it. Then last night I felt pressure on the sides of my nose near my eyes. This morning when I woke up the area is really swollen all the way down to the bottom of my eyes and up to the top of my bridge of my nose. On my left side of my nose I have really hard lump and the whole area is tender. Is this serious? do I need to see a doctor? Do you know what it is? Some one said spider bite, but I feel like the course it took would have been faster than three days. Maybe some kind of infection. I was worried about staff due to the fact that last night I went to the gym, tanning, and got my nails done. All places known for carrying this.....

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having ingrown hair follicle infection or some thing bite and by doing popping of bump there might be having aggravating infection producing swelling, edema and cellulitis.
This is danger zone and there might be spreading infection in the brain.
Consult your doctor as soon as possible and get examined and go for antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicine treatment.
Do not try to disturb this part.
Ok and take care.
