Welcome to HealthcareMagic
Your “cyst” ” is suggestive for chalazion ( as a nodule, lump that persist many weeks , months, ) it can be associated with signs of inflammation like ( redness, swelling, pain, local discomfort ) in such case is easy to treat with hot compresses and incision, curettage or injection locally of corticosteroids like triamcinolone. All these procedures can be done in any medical center and for definitely diagnosis and treatment I would advice you Ophthalmologist consultation.
I wish you good luck and speedy recovery,
