sinus infection?
I noticed a bumb under my eye (like a little less then an inch from my eye) and its gotten bigger over the course of when I first noticed it (two days ago) and it's tender when I touch it. My aunt is a retired nurse and when she looked at it she said it may be a sinus infection. I have had a headache recently. Is a bump in this area normal for a sinus infection? Has anyone had this before?
Thanks

I don't think it is a sty. If you aunt was a nurse, then I think she would recognize a sty. A sty is a bump right on the rim of your eye and it swollen and painful and red and can interfere with your sight. It does sound like a sinus infection. You have sinus cavities on both sides of your nose, in the area under your eyes. They can indeed cause swelling and they can cause headaches. For a true diagnosis of an infection, you need to see a doctor, because you'll need antibiotics.

If it is what I think it is, Then it is called a Stye.
