A member asked:

I have a swelling of my lower eyelid with a black dot on the lower lid margin. no discharge or redness. is it a chalazion or stye? and how to treat?

Could be a stye,: With a pigment area of the skin not related to the swelling. Use moist heat compresses at least 4 times a day for 10 minutes at a time. Do this until it gets better. A great idea to have this examined by an ophthalmologist.
