Try hot compresses: The most common problems causing these symptoms are styes or chalazions. Both respond to hot compresses for 5-10 minutes followed by gentle cleaning of the eyelid margins with mild soap, like baby shampoo in warm water. Try this twice a day to start.

Hot compresses: But you will likely need to see doctor if it doesnt go away soon to rule out infection or other inflammatory disease.
