Bump either on my eye or the under side of my eyelid?

Question

okay so i was putting makeup on the other day which i hardly do (hence why i had missed it) and i noticed this bump on my eyelid. its under the eyelid so either on the eyeball itself or the underside of the eyelid. which could be the same thing however way you consider it..

anywho...

i have noticed this bump before when putting on makeup before about a month ago. it doesnt hurt or anything, i do wear glasses but no contacts. ive recently become more dependent on my glasses and was told that my vision in the other eye upped a little bit. (but its really small.. from .5 to .7)

im just curious as to what this bump is and if its something wrong even though it doesnt even hurt. when my eyes are open its located in the crevice of my eye, and visible when closed, particularly if you stretch the eyelid to the side it is more profound.

any answers?

thanks

Answer 1

It might be a stye, another possibility is an ingrown eyelash.  I have no idea how, but that happened to me once.  I thought had a stye, but when the doctor looked closely, I had an ingrown eyelash, without even noticing it.

Answer 2

Probably just an obstructed tear duct. Something like 4 percent of the population get them chronically. It's an infection, just either leave it alone, or if you really want to do something, rinse it in warm water. If it last for another month or so, go to the docs and get a prescription for redeye antibiotic.

Answer 3

IT IS A CHALAZION, LIKE A STIE, BUT NOT INFECTED. IT IS MORE LIKE A CYST AND CAN BE REMOVED SIMPLY BY AN OPTHALMOLOGIST.

Answer 4

Chances are it is a stye.  Best treatment for a stye is warm compress for 10 minutes 4 times a day until it goes away.

The stye is caused by the same thing your pimples were caused by when young.  

A gland in your eyelid makes an oily substance to help the tears lubricate your eye. This gland gets plugged up with bacteria, which like the taste of the oily substance and a stye develops.

The warm compresses melt the plug and gets things flowing again.

If it begins to hurt lubricating eye drops can help, just don't use the kind of drops that "get the red out" or for allergies, they will make things much worse.

If after a week of the compresses it does not clear up see a doctor, it may be something else.
