why, yes!

There's nothing there...? :confused:

At least, if there is then you're being a complete pussy over nothing. No offence meant, I'll explain:

I had an infected stye about a year and a bit ago (it's still there, to some extent), and that swelled up to the size of a pea. It took five weeks to get rid of it, with warm compresses, creams, visits to the doctor etc. Three weeks later, it came back for a week or so.

After enduring that... well, let's just say that you're being a pussy ;) :D

[Edit] Do you mean that rise in the line of the lower eyelid, to the right of the picture? If so, AFAIK that's normal :confused: - I have that on both eyes and so does my girlfriend.

It's a stye. Leave it alone. Don't rub it or it could spread. It will most likely go away on its own.

If it really bothers you, you can put a heating pad over your eye.

It very likely is a stye. I've had one as well.

Warm compresses placed gently but firmly on top of it will help, but generally it'll just go away on its own. If it's still there in 3 days, check with a doctor.

It sounds like a sty. Get some boric acid from your local drugstore, make a solution in warm water, and apply it for awhile with some gauze pads.
