Possible lid cyst: It sounds like you have a cyst (sty) on the eyelid. Apply warm compresses on the closed eyelid for about four minutes, four times a day. You need to see an eye specialist to evaluate the lid and maybe prescribe antibiotic eye drops. If it is indeeed a cyst and would not heal with warm compresses and antibiotic drops or ointment, it may need to be drained by minor surgery.See your neighborhood Doc.
