Hi

This may be a sun burn. Sun burns as in the case of first degree burns may present as skin blisters. Wash with cool water and keep the skin dry .Avoid scratching or picking on the area. Apply cool compress three times a day for not more than 15 minutes over the bump. This should help decrease any swelling or redness. If pain is present, you may take pain relievers.

Here is a url for further reading. Remember to consult you physician before applying any  topical medications on the face.This area of the face is quite sensitive, thus be careful of what you apply:

thanks for your reply. however, there isnt any pain. It has lasted too many days. I think it's more like a pimple or clogged pore, but no pus. It looks like clear fluid. It's hard to tell since it's so small. Do you recommend acne cream like benzoyl perozide?
