Hello dear,

Presence of lump on the inside of eye can be due to:
1. Stye- acute infection/inflammation of the glands in the eye lashes.
Associated with pain, swelling & watering of eyes.
2. Chalazion- chronic infection/inflammation of the meibomian glands of the eyelids.
3. Concretions
4. Meibomian cyst

Management involves:
1. Hot fomentation.
2. Application of topical antibiotic ointment.
3. Surgical management- done in case it is not controlled by medications.

So, it will be better to consult an Ophthalmologist & get a proper examination done to find out the exact cause.
Based on that, appropriate management steps could be taken.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
