Eyelid Problem... Help...?

Question

A few months back my right lower eyelid swelled up for no reason and after it went down a bit I noticed a small 'air bubble' type thing on the inside of the eyelid (about the size of a match-head). My eyelid has just recently swelled up again and the inner lump thing is still there. It looks a pale white in colour but doesn't hurt. What could it be? Do I need to go to my GP or should I go to some eye specialist place?

Answer 1

Hi, I think you either have a small sty or eye ulcer. If you try optrex eye freshener and this relieves the problem, it could be that you are working in a dusty or pollen soaked atmosphere. I would first recommend going to GP as they are the specialists in this field.

Answer 2

Go to your doctor . Without looking at it noone on here can diagnose your problem . Good luck

Answer 3

Go to your doctor first for the best advice. All you get on here is second rate advice.

Answer 4

Go to your GP.  if you need to see a specialist he will refer you but it might just be an infected eyelash or tear duct.  I had an infection in my lower eyelid once and had to clean it with drop of baby shampoo on a cotton bud, it worked a treat!

Answer 5

i have the same thing. the swelling and the little bubble. just yesterday i was talking to a doctor and he said that it is just a little blood collection in there and it can easily be removed with a tiny incision. i'm gonna go have it done next week.

it's nothing dangerous though.
