Ive had a pimple near my right eye for the past two days, along with pimples on my scalp. I also have pain in my right eye and swelling under it. What could be the cause of this and what should I do?

Use a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin for the pimple near your eye and on your head scalp. Apply a small amount to the affected areas twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling.
