What could cause swelling under the skin? i have a small bump under the skin by maxillary sinus i noticed it flares up when my sinuses act up. what could this be?

Infraorbital: Your infra orbital vein runs just under your eye and lateral to your nose. The vein connects to your cavernous sinus and when your sinuses get congested the vein dilates and causes swelling. One mechanism why people with allergy problems will get dark circles under there eyes.
