What Does A Small Fatty Looking Bump On The Upper Eyelid Indicate?

I have a small fatty looking bump on the upper eyelid below the lashes and it touches my eye. At first I thought it was a stye or chalazion. It has been there for 6 months or longer. It is irritating to the touch. It hadn t really bothered me until 4 months ago when that eye started watering all the time. I wear monthly s and haven t changed my contact solutions. As soon as I wipe the tear it forms in the corner again. My reg eye Dr. gave me drops for allergy which I have never had. its not helping. and the lacrimal caruncle is a little swollen too. He is not sure what the lump is either. Feeling very frustrated!
