Common Questions and Answers about Lump on upper eyelid

lump

I had some conjunctivitis eye cream ( I know you're not supposed to use human ointments) but because it was outside the eye I put it on the large lump on the eyelid and after a week it has gone! As you have suggested I will get the small lump removed when I go to the vet in the next couple of weeks. Thanks again for your informative reply.

Hello, my problem is a lump in the eyelid. I saw it this morning, when I wake up. It was all fine yesterday, so I guess something happen on the night. It doesn't hurt, but I feel small pressure on my eye. here is link to picture: http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/3757/eyelid.

I have developed a painless lump (approx. 3/8" diameter) in my upper eyelid. It's located halfway up from the lash area. Is this likely anything to be concerned about? Don't want to waste the doctor's time (and my time and money) if this is a common occurrence in 70 year old eyes. Thanks for response!

I had a lump on my upper eyelid which has been there for at least 2 month. I now have 2 more small lumps. It is not painful or irritating...but looks bad and is causing me embarrasment.

my 3 years old kid is having a very tiny lump on the upper eyelid. unless you see it very nearly we cant find it. i dont know whether it is a stye or chalazion. it started suddenly after she got up form sleep. we thought that it may be an insect sting. the lump is there since 4 months. it is neither increasing nor decreasing. when i showed her to ophthal MD doc he said that she needs surgery. the lump is very small. without surgery are there no ointments or antibiotics for treatment?

When I woke up this morning, it still hurt, so I went to the mirror and discovered a rather severely swollen upper right eyelid. I panicked, put a warm compress on it, laid back down for a bit, and when I got back up and continued to keep the compress on it for a bit longer, the swelling went down SOME (but not completely).

After getting the swelling down with warm compresses,i am left with a small,virtually painless lump on the upper eyelid. It is not actually on my eyeline so I thought that it could not be a stye,however it is closest to my eyelash area then any other part of the eyelid. Browsing the internet ive seen it could be a chalazion however I have never had a stye before,nor before the swelling a few days ago there was no indication of anything wrong,what does anyone think it could be?

I had a stye a few weeks ago but this morning woke with sore eyelids, a similar feeling to the one i had shortly before my stye appeared last time, but pulling down my eyelid i can see small lumps in the inner corners of my eyes near the tear ducts, on both eyes and on both upper and lower lids, but only on the inner sides, they look different to when i had a stye and are not on the hair follicle but look to have a small black dot in the centre of them

A chalazion is a cyst in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a blocked meibomian gland, usually on the upper eyelid. Chalazions differ from styes in that they are usually painless apart from the tenderness caused when they swell up, and in size (chalazia tend to be larger than styes). If it is a chalazion, then it may need scrapping. I sincerely advise you to consult an ophthalmologist.

There are two under my left upper eyelid and at least one under my right, and one under my lower right eyelid, I think. They look a little like the picture of follicular conjunctivitis from this website, but they are white in color and don't look as much like fat cells as mounds: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://intermed.med.uottawa.ca/procedures/slamp/eye_disorders/redeye49.jpg&imgrefurl=http://intermed.med.uottawa.ca/procedures/slamp/seg_exam.

And now, after a month, although the itchiness on my right eye has greatly subsided, my left upper-eyelid still remains itchy, with a lump in the corner of the eyelid. The lump is not red, not noticeable unless when touched, not flaky, but still very itchy. My eye would not get watery unless I rub it too. The lump is on the corner or my upper eyelid, towards the nose bridge.

im particularly interested in blephoplastry surgey (if i spelt it right) for my upper eyelids, i have quite a lot of loose skin above my eyes, and they make my eyelids go downwards, and ive noticed in the light at the end of my eye on the upper eyelid there are lumps of skin on both eyes, and a roll of skin if im just relaxing my face. do you think it would be neccessary to get this surgery? it does make me self conscious aot of the time to.

I've a hard white lump in the corner of my eye, it's on the upper eyelid. I've had it for over 6 months and it doesn't seem to be going away. It doesn't hurt or itch. I want to know if I should get it checked out or whether I should continue to wait and see if it will clear up on its own.

Now, 10 days later, I am a little concerned about my eyes and just want to make sure that this is a normal part of the healing process. I had both upper and lower lids done. Incision in crease and incision below my lashes on lower lid. You can see some slight lumpiness under the skin beneath the lower lashes of my left eye. It is not in the area of the stitch line. Also, my lower lids are so tight that they droop downward and change the appearance of my eyes.

Hi, This could be a condition called Chalazion though this is rarely seen in the bottom eyelid, it is more common in the upper one. A chalazion is a lump in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a gland within the skin. A chalazion is caused by the oil in the gland becoming too thick to flow out of the gland. This oil that is too thick blocks up the gland, leading to the formation of a lump. A chalazion appears as a localized hard lump.

I've been using fusidic acid eyedrops for the last week because of a suspected eye infection - one eyelid had massive swelling which ended up as a large lump in the outer corner of the upper eyelid. Most of the swelling has gone now, but my eyelid is a strange yellowy colour, almost like it's bruised? Is this normal? It's starting to concern me...I suffer with anxiety anyway, so any help that anyone could give would be massively appreciated - thank you!

I have pus coming out of a meibomian gland opening and a bit of the tarsal conjunctiva in my upper eyelid near the nasal side for almost a week now. I guess it must be an infection but I also have a chalazion-like lump at the same site of the infection.

I have a white looking bump on the inside of my upper eye lid. It is painful when I blink and when I rub my eye. My eye also seems to be emitting more fluid lately. It is just irritated. Any ideas of what it could be? Thanks.

I notice a smail seed inside the upper eyelids months ago.Now is grown begger and it look like a white lump if you look inside.It is not painful....Please what is it. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/372704'>Bump under my eyelid</a>.

When I peel the eyelid back, the lump can be seen and it is white. It really has not seemed to change in its size. Please let me know if this is something that may be life threatening. Thank you for your time.

After 2 weeks, i had Conjunctivitis again (Viral) which formed a new lump on my eyelid. I have now become really worried, but my Opthalmologist said not to as he doesnt see anything systemic causing it (after examining my eye many times). But after a week of clearing me, i started to have inflamed eyelid and some discharge, so I tried to see a different doctor and he said i have mebomianitis AND blepharitis.

it alarmed me because one of the early signs are a swelling on the upper eyelids and i spent a whole day with a swollen upper eyelid. i'm pretty worried and so is my boyfriend. could it be mono?

I found a small lump on my upper eye lid about 6 months ago. It is under my skin and is only visible if I point it out to someone or get them to feel it. In that same eye my lower eye lid has a red line on the inside of the eye lid and a small raising of the skin where the inner eyelid meets the outer one. A couple of days ago I felt on my other eye lid another small lump this time on my lower eye lid( different eye).

My mothers eyelid has swollen with a small soft lump since last 4-5 years. she is diabetic and has blood prassure. The swelling is increasing (however it is not cancer). It is in the inner part of the eyelid starting from near the nose and spreading to the other side of the eyelid with some parts of the eyebrow also swollen along the top of the lid.

I am seeing improvement on the right eye as indeed it skin is becoming a little more taunt. My main concern is the left upper eyelid doesn't open as wide as the right eyelid now. I think the doctor pulled the skin in the corner of my left eye so tight it has pulled down the eyelid. There has been no improvement on the left eyelid as the swelling slowly goes down and my vision in the left eye is blurred and the eye waters now. What can be done?

It's not focused around the edge of the eyelid near the lashes, it's way back there. If I touch the outside of my upper eyelid I can feel the lump(s) as opposed to my other eye, which has none. I'm not bold enough to turn my lid inside out, but I can see it when I lift it. I'm also a contact lens wearer, which obviously puts me at risk for a battery of eye problems, but I wonder if it has anything to do with it.
