Under my right eye is a red bump looking thing. Forgot what people were calling it. They said i should put a warm compress on it and that should take care of it. Can someone tell what its called and how to treat it?

It's a sty. Basically it means you have something akin to a pimple. Usually caused by Staph bacteria normally found on our skin. Use the warm compress to bring the infection to the surface where it can open allowing the pus to come out. It should heal on its own within a few days to a week. If it persists, you may have to go to your doctor. Don't try to squeeze it out. Let it happen on it's own. We harbor many bacteria on our hands that could complicate matters.

It sounds like you have a sty. I used to get reacurring ones. Try not to rub or touch your eyes when your hands are not clean. And while you have your sty dont poke or prod it or wear eye makeup.

You might have an infection from using old make up pens, throw them out and buy new ones. Replace them more than once a year.
