Q: woke up to a small rash type bump (like a welt but not red) on the outer crease area of one eye, not painful to touch or red & soft, not hard at all. looks like a hump. can it be an insect bite? or an allergy?

: It is difficult to say what it is without seeing it. A bump like that could have many potential causes, including being from the pillow if you slept on it. If it becomes painful, red, itchy or it doesn’t go away in a couple of days, then have your doctor take a look at it. If your vision becomes blurry, see a doctor ASAP! Good luck!
