Question 1

i need advice on what's this bump inside my eyelid?

Accepted Answer

Inside only?: If it appears to be in the substance of the lid, it is probably a cyst called a chalazion.  This is benign and can be ignored although is can be removed by an ophthalmologist.  If the skin is involved, especially with redness and pain, then it could be a tumor needing attention.

Question 2

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Hordeloelum: watm compresses upto 3-4 times pr day. May take days to weeks to go away. It is a blocked Tear duct. Seek medical attention if not gone after 1-2 weeks.

Question 4

white pimple like bump inside my eyelid, could this be a stye?

Accepted Answer

Maybe/not: A stye is usually a bacterial infection of a gland near the root of an eyelash at the edge of the eyelid. The tear glands within the eyelid can also become inflamed &amp; this triggers a chalazion, often more central within the eyelid. Both may  respond to heat/warm compress but you may need treatment. Your doc can sort it out if it doesn't self heal.

Question 5

i have had some irritation going on on my eyelid for the past 24-48 hrs. i was guessing that it was the begging of a stye so i started with hot compresses today. moments ago i discovered that there is a bump inside of my eyelid. it is itchy and sor

Accepted Answer

Chalazion: If the lump is in the middle of the eyelid and not on the edge, it is likely a chalazion caused by a blocked tear duct. Hot compresses may do the job, but I prefer that an ophthalmologist examine you for diagnosis and definitive treatment as chalazions can recur if partially treated.

Question 6

my eye hurts and there is a swollen bump inside my lower eyelid. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Stye: At your age, this is probably a stye.  This is a blocked gland in the substance of the lid which will produce a red swelling on the inside of the lid.  If advanced it may swell the whole lid.  To treat, use very warm washcloths socked from your water tap (not too hot).  for about 5 minutes at a time, 5 times per day for several days .  this will usually get rid of it.

Question 7

what do you suggest if my eye hurts and there is a swollen bump inside my lower eyelid. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Most likely a stye: Most likely it's a chalazion or a stye. They should resolve with warm compresses. If they don't it needs to be drained and at the same time I would. Biopsy it to make sure it's not a malignancy.

Question 8

bump on the inside of my eyelid, should i stop wearing contacts?

Accepted Answer

GPC: If you have bumps under your upper eyelids and are having problems with irritation, mucous, and contact lens intolerance, then you may have giant papillary conjunctivitis (gpc).  This condition used to be more common before disposable contacts became popular.  This still does occur occasionally and responds well to discontinuation of your contact lenses for several weeks or more + steroid drops.

Question 9

i have a white tiny bump on the inside of my eyelid when i wake up i have white eye mucus that i pick out my vision gets blurry and feels gritty ?

Accepted Answer

Eyelid: Two of the more common problems associated with an eyelid would be blepharitis or cholazion.
Both typically treated with warm compress and topical antibiotic.

Question 10

i have a hard bump in the middle of my right eye... hi!
i am 18 years old and i noticed a small bump on the inside of my eyelid almost in the center of my eye. it only hurts a little when i mash on it. i do not think it it a stye because it is not on the

Accepted Answer

This : This is most likely a chalazion which is an obstruction of an oil gland in the eyelid.  Warm soaks 3-4 times a day can help, but if it does not resolve, you need to see an ophthalmologist for treatment which may be medical or surgical.
