Is this a stye or chalazion?

Posted , 3 users are following.

My eyes where bothering me a lot the day before I noticed pain. They where itchy and kept getting watery making me rub them. I do try to keep my hands clean This is pretty much proof I’m not as good as I thought at it. The pain was every time I blinked hard but I could blink normally.  I wake up today with a swollen eye but when I fold my bottom eyelid it’s almost like there’s a black dot a little further back than my eyelashes. I have to ask because chalazions aren’t supposed to hurt but this looks too far back to be a stye. If you inbox me I can send you two pictures I don’t know how to post them on here

    Make an appointment to see a doctor, preferably an ophthalmologist.
