Your : Your bump may be a chalazion. This is an oil gland in the eyelid that has become blocked allowing a cyst (bump) to form. Often warm compresses, for 5 minutes twice daily, will help the oil gland to open and the cyst to gradually drain. If the chalazion does not resolve it can be removed with a minor office procedure.

Probably stye: Styes are accumulation of greasy oily material in the eyelids that occur when the eyelid oil glands become plugged up. Why this happens is unknown, but it is a fairly common problem. If the stye is small it will usually respond to application of warm compresses. If it becomes enlarged and swollen then it may require surgical drainage. An eye examination would be prudent.
