Q: Puffy Eye?
asked by: thefivefour on May 14th, 2007

I have this weird bump near the inside corner of my eye... on the side of the bridge of my nose on my right. It's a small, hardish bump and it's been there for a day or two now. It's made the skin under my eye slightly puffy and it's become really annoying and noticable. Haven't the foggiest what it could be - at first I thought it was a zit but I don't think a zit would cause my eye to become puffy underneath. I haven't had any food that I normally don't eat. So my only other guess is that it's a bug bite of sorts.... or an abscess (I've had one on a tooth before)?

Ideas? I didn't know where to post this question. There's a little 'pain' to it but nothing that would stop me from carrying about my day. Mostly there's feeling to the bump. Would any off the shelf allergy meds work?

Help!

Thank you

It could be a number of things. It could be a small cyst or sweat gland. You could get a doctor to check it out and let you know your options.

sounds like a "sty" usually helped by antibiotics. But see your doc as it could also be other things.
