My pimple swoll up/turned purple?!?

I recently got this red boil thing (I wouldn't call it a pimple) under my eye. I thought it was a pimple so I used the toothpaste remedy on it. I went to sleep with a toothpaste on the boil with a band-aid on top but this morning when I woke up I discovered it turned purple-ish, the skin around it swoll up and it didn't look better at all! Any idea on what it is or ow to treat it? It looks so bad TToTT
