What Causes Growth On Inner Side Of Eyelid?

Hello, I have a white (with redness on the edges) about 5 mm growth on the inner side of my right eyelid. it is about 5 mm above the eyelash line and toward the corner of my nose. It has been present x 5 months. I always thought I had an irritant in my eye, so never bothered to look. I have difficulty opening my right eye for the first 5 min in the AM. Today, i had my husband look (I thought I may have had an eyelash stuck), he described the growth and provided an image. Should I go to an opthalmologist? Do I need emergency treatment?

Thank you!
