Bump On Eye Lashes After Stress Or Sickness. Why?

When I get stressed or sick, the base of one of my eyelashes will form a bump and it hurts quite badly. The eyelashes all around the bump will fall out until I can get to a mirror to find the one eyelash and pull it. When it comes out, the base is covered in black goo- not mascara! I haven't worn it in years bc of this. What is it?
