A member asked:

My caruncule and plica semilunaris have gotten bigger in the right eye ever since i accidentally got some desinfectant in it last summer. its not always red but looks swollen and stings. is it hyperplasia? can it go away by itself with time?

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, and physical examination. You may watch and wait, If the lesion is getting better, you may give it time to heal. If it affects your vision, see an eye doctor. Wish you good health!
