My Boston Terrier has been having this bump and rash on her left eye. I can’t tell if it’s getting better or worse. It’s really watery and she is trying to itch it.

Brixton's eye does look irritated - this could be a papule and a sign of infection secondary to allergies or it might be a true skin growth or mass. I'd recommend having your vet examine her in person, particularly since her eye is irritated. You could use an e-collar or cone to prevent her from rubbing until you can see the vet.

It could be an infection, cyst, papilloma, histiocytoma, or other type of mass. Have your vet take a look at it to determine the exact cause. Your vet can do a fine needle aspirate to help diagnose and determine if treatment is actually needed.
