I don't know what it's called in English, but it could be this zit by the eye, which could cause infection. The doctor can get rid of it.
I had a stye last week, it was really painful. The doctor said to just keep an eye (that's purely an unintentional pun) on it. They do dissapear on there own - like the website says. Annoying until they do though.
and while you're there, if it's a stye, they can give you ointment (maybe even the amazingly named 'goldeneye') for it.
I had a really painful problem with my right eye for months and saw a specialist, that was really worrying. Now it's OK and I make it a point to wash my handsmore often and avoid touching them.
