Staph Infection: You need to be seen urgently and to have this infection either excised or at the least treated with antibiotics.

Abscess: Your description sounds like an abscess or a pustule. If it is not resolving and there is continued pus and the redness and swelling is spreading, this should be evaluated. If there is an infection around the eye, it could become a very serious sight threatening infection if it starts to progress.
