Question 2

i have a small lump on my right eye lid it's painless i only found it because i was rubbing my eye. any idea what it could be???

Accepted Answer

Chalazion: A chalazion is the encysted remains of your lids battle with a stye.  They are benign and will not cause a problem unless it is big enough that you are upset by the appearance.  At your age this is the most likely diagnosis.  It can be surgically removed by a simple office procedure.

Question 3

i had a stye for about 4 months on my upper eye lid but after it became a lump. same thing happened to my other eyelid what shall i do ?

Accepted Answer

Chalazion: Sty is usually an acute infection and you may have chalazion. These generally get better on their own in about month, since that has not happened, you need to see an ophthalmologist for evaluation and treatment. See this site for info on this topic.

Question 4

3 days ago my eye lid started hurting now the entire eyelid is red and there is a small lump. on the inside corner of the eye and swollen?

Accepted Answer

Stye: Usually warm moist heat topically several times a day helps it go away.  If it persists past a week see an opthamologist.

Question 5

hi,

i had an eye infection a little while ago and now i have a lump on my eye lid, is there cream or something i can get to assist in taking it away ?

Accepted Answer

Chalazion: Sounds like a chazion which is an inflamed, obstructed oil gland.  You could try warm moist compresses and topical antibiotics.  If it doesn’t go away it may need to be drained.

Question 6

i got a lump on my eye lid 4 weeks ago initially it was little painful my physician said its a stye and will go away in 3 weeks but its growing bigger?

Accepted Answer

Stye: A stye is an inflamed oil gland on the edge of your eyelid, where the lash meets the lid. It appears as a red, swollen bump that looks like a pimple. It is often tender.Treatment starts with heating for ten minutes to thin the oil and then trying to squeeze it out. If not successful in draining it, one goes to the eye md for surgical drainage. Rosacea is a risk factor.

Question 7

i have a swollen lower eye lid, no lumps or spots but very sore to touch and hurts when i blink, mainly in the outer corner. even my eye lashes hurt, ?

Accepted Answer

How Long?: Symtoms most likely a stye in that a " bump" isn't always palpated. They can become quite painful and cause a lot of local inflammation. A key is how long has it been going on?  Eye lid cancer usually is something that is apparent on the skin or lid margin but you should have it checked out by a physician.

Question 8

i have a lump on the bottom of my eye lid and it's itchy and yellow and red it looks sore too can you tell me what u think it is?

Accepted Answer

Possibly a hordeolum: Almost like a pimple in the skin of the eyelid. Try soaking it with warm water on a washcloth, get an rx for some antibiotic ointment if it looks infected.

Question 9

i see my eye lid lump (stye) to be soft and ready to burst when applied warm massage. how do i squeeze oil from it without spreading infection?

Accepted Answer

See below: Place a wash cloth under freely flowing water - hot to touch, but not hot enough that it hurts. Apply this in a brushing movement across the eyelid as you apply moderate pressure to roughen the skin surface and squeeze its contents out. After each movement, rinse the washcloth under the running warm running water. Good luck!

Question 10

how can i fix the over lapping skin on my eye lid?

Accepted Answer

Surgeon Review: Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove over lapping skin of the upper eyelid. Sometimes medically necessary. As with any  surgery, do your homework.  Look at on line reviews -/+. Ask other patients. Eyelid surgery is both art and science; but art is most important. Look at before and after images.  Feild of vision testing can determine if the procedure is cosmetic or medically necessary.
