Question 1

i have like this bump on my eye, what can it be?

Accepted Answer

See an eye doctor: Bumps should be evaluated by a doctor. If the bump is on the eyelid, it is treated differently than one that is on the eyeball itself. If on the lid, it can be a stye, but in order to have it properly treated, see an eye doctor.

Question 2

i have a bump on the side of my eye. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Could be many things: When evaluating bumps on the eye, it is important to know the exact location, color, pain level, age of patient etc. As there are many diagnoses that can be described as bumps.
The most common bump on the eyelid is a chalazion or a stye, both can be treated with warm compresses.  If the lesion does not improve, make sure you have it evaluated by an eye doctor.

Question 3

what is this sore/bump on the outside of my eye?

Accepted Answer

Stye: Sounds like it could be a chalazion or hordeolum (stye).

See your eye doctor.

Question 4

my son has small paindul bump on eyeball. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Painful eye bump: Your description could be caused by many issues.  If your son truly has a painful eye bump, he needs to be seen by an eye doctor.

Question 5

i have a bump in my eye?

Accepted Answer

Bump in eye?: Is the bump on the eyelid? this may be a stye/hordoleum. If it is, then you should treat with warm compresses. If it is "in the eye", then I suggest you see an ophthalmologist​.

Question 6

clear bump on my eyeball how to treat?

Accepted Answer

Could be a cyst: The most likely diagnosis based on your description is a conjunctival cyst.  There are other possibilities, some of which may be serious.  These rarely go away on their own so see an ophthalmologist and get it checked out.

Question 7

what could the red bump be in the corner of my eye?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Without examining you in person, it's tough to say what the red bump may be.  It could be nothing or something more serious.  If you have a suspicious lesion that won't heal, itches, bleeds, or is changing in any way, you should see your dermatologist (if it's on the skin by the eye) or an ophthamologist (if it's in the eye) so it can be properly evaluated.

Question 8

how to treat this yellowish bump in the corner of my eye?

Accepted Answer

Don't: The bump is called a pingueculum, something you have in each corner of both eyes.  They are the callus of the eye;  a protective growth in the middle years against wind, dust and light radiation.  Most are very small but a few are cosmetically large and can be reduced.  Check with your ophthalmologist if yours bothers you.

Question 9

i have bump on my lower eyeball which i cantsee.it started as painful 3 days ago, not painful anymore.i wore contacts that day.what is it, isit dangeros?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say w/o exam: There are many possibilities, but i always have a higher level of concern in contact lens wearers due to higher incidence of bacterial issues.  If the bump has not resolved, recommend having an exam, esp before any further contact lens wear.  Could be a phlyctenule (inflammatory bump), an infectious ulcer, a deposit or change in cornea related to contacts ...

Question 10

please describe these bumps on the corner of my eye crease?

Accepted Answer

Skin tags: If they are not red and sore, probably just benign growths like skin tags. If they are growing or changing color, have them checked out by a doctor.
