Boil on eye lid

Question

Boil on eye lid

Asked for Female, 28 Years

I had got a slight painful boil on my left eyelid which I suppose developed due to heat. The swelling had increased then subsided but due to excess strain by constant use of laptop and sleeplessness the boil has become bigger and it has swollen and become blackish too. It's been 2 weeks now. It doesn't seem to subside or go off. I even tried dabbing a cloth dipped in hot water on my eye lid to make it subside but that hasn't helped either. Could someone please advise on what can be done? Thanks.
