Depending on how long the tissue has been prolapsed necrosis could be around the corner. Baby boas do sometimes get prolapses like this and sometimes all that needs to be done is to have the tissue pushed back in by a vet. If it has necrosed, that is a whole different thing. Sometimes they have anatomical problems and need surgery in order to keep this from repeating. Get a vet's opinion.
A facial swelling like that could be any number of things from inflammation, abscess, tumor (doubt it in a young animal), etc, regardless it needs a vet. I'd be weary about using Nolvasan or any chlorhexadine product around an eye, it's definitely not something you want to get in the eye.
