I've a palpable, non-visible tube-like lump under my eye, about 1.5 CM down, for 2 months, and a small lymph node on my groin for a year. Concerning?

Lump or split?: Hi Janice907 The eye lump might be an inflamed tear duct, and I would suggest you consult your own practitioner who might refer you to a dermatologist or facial surgeon for further evaluation.

Alternatively, if the clinical exam remains suspicious, biopsy may be indicated. Talk to your doc about the options. ...Read more
