bump in my eye

a few hours ago i had an irritating feeling in my eye. like i poked my self with something sharp. when i got home i noticed this little red bump in the top lid outer corner of my right eye. i thought maybe i pulled an eyelash but it seems too low and i don't normally get a bump when i do pull one.

It could be a blocked oil gland (chalazion) or infected oil gland (stye or meibomian gland abscess)  Proably the best you can do at home is apply warm moist compresses and if no better tomorrow see an ophthalmologist (eye MD ) or optometrist.
