A "bump on eyelid" search came up with the following:
chalazion -- A small bump on the eyelid caused by an obstructed meibomian gland. Additional symptoms include light sensitivity, tearing and eyelid swelling. Chalazia are usually not painful unless they become infected. nevus -- Birthmark, freckle or mole. Nevi are often brownish, but can be other colors as well, such as blue, black, reddish or skin-colored. Nevi can be raised or flat. The exact cause is unknown, but genetics and sunlight exposure appear to be factors. Some people also have freckles on the iris and/or retina. papilloma -- Usually benign tumor, such as a wart or a skin tag; papillomas may be raised or flat, and can be a variety of colors, such as skin-colored, yellow, pink, brown or black. Eye papillomas are typically on the eyelid, but may also appear on the conjunctiva. The cause of papillomas is felt to be viral. sty -- A small red bump on the edge of the eyelid caused by an infected gland. Additional symptoms include eyelid pain, eyelid swelling, eye pain or discomfort, foreign body sensation, light sensitivity and tearing. xanthelasma -- A yellow, fatty spot or bump on the inner corner of either the upper eyelid, the lower one or both eyelids, often caused by a lipid disorder such as high cholesterol. Your best bet is to ask your doctor. |
