What Does Boil On White Of The Eye Indicate?

Hello, I have a white boil on my right eye's white portion. I went to a pool last week for the first time and after that it appeared. Initially got little eye pain, so thought this is due to water infection and applied an eye gel due to which the redness came down. Now I donot have pain but feel uncomfirtable due to the presence of the boil which appears clearly now. Little reddish near the boil but no pains.

Why this ? and what is the solution for this? I never had any eye related issues previously.

Hi!
It appears to be infected pinguicula.Result of mild allergic/degenerative reaction of body tissue with super added mild infection.No worry !
Just use eye drop like -Lotepred in a tapering dose with some lubricating drop e.g.Lubrex,
Hope it will be alright soon.
