I do not think this boil can turn at cancer. If it is like the one in the picture, it looks clearly like a stye. And, for a stye, if it doesn't settle, like your eye doctor said, one can take a small cut and get it out. Nothing to worry about at all.

Yes, It is indeed a stye. In medical terms, we call it 'Internal Hordeolum'. Ask your eye doctor. He is a better judge.
