It sounds like a stye. I've gotten many of them in my lifetime. It usually comes when I'm tired, weakened immune system, etc. Here's what to do: place a very warm cloth over the bump several times a day. Be very gentle with your eye. If it doesn't get better this way there is topical ointment at drugstore called Stye medicine. This is only to be placed on the exterior of your eyelid...not directly in the eye. The warm compresses really do help. Also, refrain from using eye makeup, since it could have been caused by this...eyeliner or eyeshadow.

Just don't touch it for about 2 or 3 days - if it starts going away - just continue to not touch it at all and it should be gone in a week. I had one of these once and my friend gave me that advice and it worked. I don't really know what it was.

sounds like an eye bump, these can get to be very large and puss filled. most grow to at least an 1/2" across before they burst and ooze the puss out. some have gotten as large as 3", good luck.

it's a sty. put a warm compress on it or stand. it's kinda like a pimple. there is stuff over the counter you can get. ask ur pharmacist. don't wear make-up for awhile.

could be a stye. Apply a cold compress and wait for it to go down. They normally happen along the lash line.

it's actually *on* your eyeball? if so, see a doc

if it's a little white spot on your eyeLID then it's a stye, and it'll go away within a few days. Don't play with it.

how long have you had it? a few days? it sounds like a sty infection. keep your fingers out of your eye.. you may need to get antibiotics.
