Hard Lump Above Eyelid, Slightly Swollen Eyelid And Eye. What Could Be Going On?

I have a hard bump above my eyelid , just under my eyebrow that appeared this morning. It was causing my eyelid to swell slightly. I ignored it all day then this afternoon iced it for a while and then messed with it. Then i took a nap and when I woke up my eye is so swollen I can barely open it. What the hell is going on.
