Could be a stye, but then again we can't see it. So your best option, especially if you want it to go away asap, is to see the eye doctor. Hot compresses are good to do, but many will also prescribe topical drops in addition to that. If it looks like a zit, having a white head, DO NOT POP it like a zit. If you let it go too long you could have more inflammation and it can get worse before it gets better.

And don't put tea in your eye like the other one said. Never put anything in the eye unless recommended by a physician.

It sounds like a stye:

Give it some time. They usually clear up on their own for me. A doctor can provide you with some antibiotic salve if it doesn't.

It's probably a stye, which is caused by a clogged gland, like an eyelash follicle. I'm very prone to these and get them often. Soak your eye with a wet, hot compress a few times a day, for up to 15 minutes at a time. The more often you soak, the faster the stye will disappear. If it doesn't go away, you may have a chalazion that will need cut out by a doctor (it sounds much worse than it really is). Wear your glasses until the bump is gone and your eye is no longer red.

From what I've read, styes aren't contagious, as they aren't caused by infection. But to be on the safe side, I make sure to use a clean washcloth with each soak and change my hand towel often. I also toss the pair of contacts I was wearing before I began treating the stye (I use the disposables) and open up a fresh pair once the stye is gone.
