General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi thanks for the query.
Going by the history it looks like sebaceous cyst,inflamed oil gland or hair follicle.
However its better you consult ophthalmologist for the same.
They might suggest oral antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines and wait for reduction in swelling.
Thank you.
