Take it easy: Juat stop poking the lump.  It's sounds to me a benign, means nothing to worry.

Question 2

i was pulling apart the mascara on my eyelashes w-a safety pin & poked my eyeball-its not hurting, have contact in?

Accepted Answer

Exam: As mild as your symptoms appear, it still is very important to have an Eye MD check your eye for any subtle injury (and to the contact lens). Just a superficial poke could introduce a contaminate into the corneal surface (or deeper) resulting in a bad infection. Is is doubtful that you perforated your eyeball with so little discomfort, but you never know. Safety pins &amp; eyes don't belong together.

eyes suddenly get dry and start to sting and tear, the pain is like being poked in the eye. does this at least twice a day after eyelash lift.

Question 7

i've had a small chalazion above my upper eyelashes for about a year. i scratched at it when removing makeup and now tender if i pull at lid. tx??

Accepted Answer

Warm soaks to start: Chalazion is a swelling in the eyelid caused by chronic inflammation of a small oil producing gland (meibomian gland). It is usually localized as a pea-like lump and is a reaction to trapped oil secretions which may become secondarily infected. When small and without symptoms, it may disappear without treatment. If  large, it may cause blurred vision.Treatment includes warm soaks and antibiotics.

my eyelashes have fallen out in a small patch on one eye. it has been a couple of weeks and they don't seem to be growing back! what should i do?

EYELASHES FALLING: This could be due to many things. There is a condition known as alopecia areata that can affect eyelashes as well as other hairy areas. It could also be a result of unconsciously pulling them out. This is known as trichotillomania.
A dermatologist is your bet bet to see for this.

Folliculitis: It is likely to be a chronic infection of the hair follicle. You may try fomentation to see if that helps in resolution. If not you should see an eye doctor.
