Bump with pain: There are several possibilities, including a stye and an abscess. If t is tender, it may be infected. An abscess needs to be drained by a skilled eye surgeon (ophthalmologist). Do not try to drain it yourself, since it may be located near a tear drainage duct.

Possible chalazion : If it involves the lower eyelid not the upper cheek it is probably a chalazion which is inflammation of a clogged meibomian oil gland. Treatment consists of warm compresses and massage and surgical drainage if no resolution after about a month. If the surrounding skin area becomes inflamed a preseptal cellulitis could be occurring which would require systemic antibiotics.

Cyst: Th can be anything from a chalazion to a foreign body reaction to a bug bite to just a slow growing benign cyst. You should be seen and evaluated by an ophthalmologist.
