Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a red bump above the eyelid.
This appears like it is a inflammatory lesion and the swelling of the eyelids is because of inflammation.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics and and anti-inflammatory drugs and hot compression.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
