What Causes Swollen Cheeks?

I woke up this morning and my right cheek is swollen, i have a red mark and it hurts to touch like a big pimple. But when i bend my head down the swollen cheek feels heavy. Was wondering if it is an ingrown hair or a food allergy to something i ate last night and a pimple just happened to be there.

Hi
This is infected and you will need antibiotics for that. Wash it clean with dettol solution and take a short course of antibiotics and analgesic. It will correct.
