Hello, I am a 22 year old male and in the last week and a half I have developed a red lump on the side of my face about an inch by half an inch big. it is quite swollen and is painful to the touch. any ideas what could be causing it and what I can do to treat it?

Sounds like it could be an ingrowing hair. I have suffered similar in the past and they eventually come out. I am not a medical person so take advise elsewhere.

Happoned to me too. the first time i kept hot compresses on it and it went down after several weeks. there was still a small noticeable lump though. then recently it came back. antibiotics and compresses didnt work, so I had it lanced. Later there was a small visible lump. The best advice to keep it from coming back is to have a surgeon open it, drain it, and irragate it with an antibiotic solution. good luck.
