Pimple under an eye

Hi,
I have a problem with pimple under my eye. I’m attaching it’s photos to this post. I live in Poland, but at time of it’s appearance I was travelling through Spain on the bike sleeping under the stars, so it can be somehow connected with mosquito bite or slt.  I noticed this problem around October 2017. I visited dermatologist in January and he told me to use 2 creams: Pevazol(containing ekanazol) and Fusacid H( Acidum fusidicum, Hydrocortisoni acetas). I used it for 2 months but it didn’t work. Later I went to another dermatologist and he told me to use (Bedicord Gbetametazon (dipropionian betametazonu) + gentamycyna ), but it didn’t work either(used for a month). At the end I have tried dermatologist for 3rd time and landed with Clobesol(0.05% cream) and after a month it’s still not working.

I’m a public speaker and appearance is important for me. Do you have any idea how can I make it gone? Doctors in Poland are recommending to remove it by surgery(so they can test it afterwards), but I would love to avoid a scar. Do you think that removing it with laser is very risky? Some doctor told me that I can take corticosteroids injection and maybe it will help. Do you think it’s safe to inject corticosteroids on face? I’m not sure what are the consequences. What do you think?

Thanks,

Have the doctors told you that it is a pimple?  

I wouldn't do laser if it's right next to your eye- I'm also not sure about corticosteroids injections, I'm not sure why those would help and again, being close to your eye, that seems risky.  I'd say your best bet would be the surgery (but yes it could mean a scar) and testing it after removal doesn't seem like a bad idea to ensure there is nothing more going on.
