I think you should go see a doctor immediately. He/she can find out exactly what's wrong and how you can fix it.

My first thought is that you might have pinkeye. Have you seen a doctor? It is highly contagious, and makes the eye red and puffy.
If it is not pinkeye, try a cold compress to ease the swelling.
Since it has been about a month, whatever the problem is, I'd check with a doctor to rule out infection. Even if it is just chapped, chances are the chapping could have caused small cracks in the skin which let bacteria in. That would explain why it hasn't healed yet. So, see a doctor. You may need antibiotics.
