I am not a doctor either, but my sister has the same problem and it's called a chalezon...sp??? It's when a tear duct or something like that gets clogged...it's usually removed and sometimes treated w/ acne medicines. You should probaly make an appointment w/ a gp when you can...he/she then might refer you to a opthomologist....eye specialist that can go from there. But this also could be a stye....it's best to get it evaluated by a doctor. Good luck!
