Hi netti,

It could be a pimple trying to break through the skin or maybe even a cycst. Apply an ice pack for the swelling for 15 minutes then rest for 30 minutes for a couple of days. Continue to observe it, if it start to leak, get larger or change in color you need to have it checked by a doctor.

Good Luck,

Faded Rose
