Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a swelling involving the upper eyelid.
Since it is appearing red with soft consistency it can be a cystic lesion involving the gland of the eyelid.
The common cystic lesions are cyst of Zeiss, cyst of Moll, meibomoan cyst....
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
