Itchy eyelid

I woke up one morning to find my left upper-eyelid to be itchy and watery, though not swollen. After a day or two, it became swollen, watery, and very itchy. Even my right upper-eyelid became itchy too (not swollen though). And now, after a month, although the itchiness on my right eye has greatly subsided, my left upper-eyelid still remains itchy, with a lump in the corner of the eyelid. The lump is not red, not noticeable unless when touched, not flaky, but still very itchy. My eye would not get watery unless I rub it too. The lump is on the corner or my upper eyelid, towards the nose bridge. And I think there is pus too, although I'm not so sure about it since I sometimes do find sticky yellow eye residue in my eye at odd times of the day. What is this lump?
