A member asked:

I have a very painful red lump the size of a pea between my left eye and nose, any idea's what it could be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Folliculitis: If I have to guess, being painful and red, it is an infection or inflammation and that area has hair and hair follicles so i would guess folliculitis, or acne. If it is an infection, you need to see your doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
