Eye pimple?

Yesterday I had a bit of a red bump that looked like a pimple on my eyelid, which became more and more sore throughout the day. This morning I woke up with a swollen eye and the 'pimple' is still there. I tried putting ice on my eye to reduce the swelling but it's not helping so much. So, what should I do? And thanks for your help.

It helps if you get a wash cloth or paper towel, soak it some warm water and set it on your eye for a while. It should go down, but it'll  go in a few days. Hope this helped!

It sounds like an eye sty. I get them a lot when I'm stressed out. They are common and harmless, and should go in a few days. Don't worry about it, and try not to irritate it, like popping it (thats a big no) or wearing eye make up.
