Is there any discharge associated with the lump? If so, see a doctor immediately. Otherwise, use warm compresses every hour for 5 minutes. Also, you may want to think about switching your eye makeup, if you wear any. You can test if it's your makeup by going without any for a few weeks and seeing if the problem occurs anyway.

If you don't wear eye makeup and it's still occurring, I would see a physician to find out about allergies you might have that you aren't aware exist. :)

It is probobly a stye.

Is there a particular bump on the inside of your eyelid?? If so...thats what it is.

It may take a day or so to get a bump.

Use warm compresses and moist drops to relieve pain.

sounds like a stye, you'll have to throw out your eyeliner and eye makeup or you'll keep getting them. put a warm wash cloth on it

Have you been sharing mascara brushes with anyone? Not a good idea.
