Hey there
I'm 14 and Live in australia(This info my
be useful to the condision somehow)
In the last week I noticed that I had a
hard rounded lump inside my eyelid, around
the middle of it. It is about 4mm in
diametre all around, it does not itch, nor
hurt, nor irretate my eye of skin or
anything really in anyway.It's quite
noticable at that too and sticks out a
fair bit if I close my eye.
I've had a good look at it myself and it
is defenetly not an infection, because I
can feel it's quiet hard and not puffy and
if has been gone down since last tuesday
when I had 1st noticed it. It is also well
and truely inside the actual skin of my
eyelid.
Another thing is that when my eyes are
open in it not visible so I doubt its
anything from the sun's UV rays.
I have also had a number of styes lately
due to make up around my eyes. so I'm not
sure if that would ahve anything to do
with it.
I should be going for a check up for it
later this week, but I wouldn't mind some
oppions about what it is 1st before I get
it checked out, because I am getting quite
worried about what it is and I don't know
if I can wait till thursday or friday to
get it checked out.
SOrry for the long message.
But If anyone ahs any idea of what it
could be, thank you

Hi, xMIss[lemon]! Posted: 05-20-08 03:49am
Have you been experiencing redness of the
eyes and itching and irritation of the
eyelids in both eyes before you got the
styes?
Do you still have styes?
Were the styes painful?
Do you find this new lump painless and
bigger than styes?

OKay well..
No, I don't believe I had any redness or
itching. About 2 months ago or more I was
away sick from school with glandular fever
and just kept scratching my eyelids
because I was dying from boredom. Then I
got the styes and They haven't propperly
healed yet.
Well every now and then, they're sort of
on and off but there is normally a little
scab on both of the top my eye lids right
where my eye lashes are.
Sometimes I get them on the lower lids,
but that's only when I don't was my eyes
after having make up or irretate my eye
lashes.
They styes were only painful when I
irretated them. They're normally just
scabs which arent infected. I suppose
they're healing but they're very on an off
from my removing the scabs.
Yes the lump is completely painless, does
not hurt and yes it's sorta larger... It
pokes out more. But the styes and the lump
are two completely different shapes.

Are you experiencing swelling on the
eyelid and eyelid tenderness?
Have you noticed some sensitivity to
light?
Do you have increased tearing in that
eye?
Do you feel heaviness of the eyelid?
These lump can be a chalazion, a small
bump (cyst) in the eyelid caused by a
blockage of a tiny oil gland.
