Brief Answer:
It could be Sebaceous cyst

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description,it looks like a Sebaceous cyst.It occurs in relation to a Hair follicle.Once you squeeze the swelling,the material comes out through a Opening called punctum.As the cyst wall remains, recurrence of the swelling is common.
Now, you have to use Antibiotic and Anti inflammatory tablet.Tge swelling will come down.
If the swelling reappears,it has to be removed surgically under Local anaesthesia.
Please post a pic if you have no objection.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health
Regards
