A member asked:

Small, hard lump on my eyelid rim--stye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Elizabeth Waller answered

Probably: Try warm compresses and gentle massage and see if you can make it go away. If not, you may need medication or surgical drainage, or it may be something else altogether.
