Yes, local infection: A stye is a likely diagnosis and is a local infection caused by a plug sweat gland. You should see an ophthalmologist for further care if it returns.

Likely chalazion: Most likely a blocked oil gland which will often resolve spontaneously. If not, it can be excised on the office.
