A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exam: Your brother is young and its best to have this "boil" checked out. Sometimes these can really get large and cause secondary concerns quickly. See an ophthalmologist who may suggest antibiotics or even a procedure to drain it. The retina is not at risk with these external type infections.
