Hello,
It is most likely to have formed a chalazion( chronic inflammation of the meibomian gland). You can try giving warm compresses( or dry heat), for 10 minutes thrice a day for 1-2 weeks. If it shows no signs of reducing at all then do consult an ophthalmologist for a closer look. Small chalazion can be treated with intralesional injection of steroid( triamcinolone) whereas a larger chalazion would need surgery.
