A bump on outer part of my lefy eye?

The bump looks like it is a pimple. It came up yesterday afternoon - I noticed how red and irritated my eye was  before it came up as well. I will say this I am 3 days into a summer cold and not sure if it is related or not. It's labor day and no one is open. The bump is sore and very irritating. I am a 31 yr old female.

It is probably a stye.  Goggle it to see if it looks the same.  Use warm compresses 4 to 5 times per day and see an ophthalmologist when one is available.
