Stye: This is the beginning of a typical stye of the eyelid. The pain is from inflammation of the skin gland that is blocked. You can treat it with frequent (4-5 times per day) applications of a very warm (not hot ) washcloth held over the lid for 5 minutes at a time. This usually will get rid of it. If present after 5-6 days, then see your ophthalmologist.
