This : This is most likely a chalazion which is an obstruction of an oil gland in the eyelid. Warm soaks 3-4 times a day can help, but if it does not resolve, you need to see an ophthalmologist for treatment which may be medical or surgical.

It : It can be many things. First, a stye does not have to be present at the rim of the eye lid so the stye can be a diagnosis. It can also be a chalazion, a cyst or pyogenic granululoma. If there is a tenderness to touch, then it is more likely to be a stye. You should be seen by an ophthalmologist to rule others out and for proper treatment.
