Little lump along lower lashes, eye doctor or dermatologist?

Question

I have a little fleshy bump along my lower lashline. I figured it was an ingrown and would go away. But it's been about 6 weeks and is now sore to the touch.

Do I see an eye doctor or dermatologist for this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

it sounds like a stye. you get them from make up and things. try putting a hot cloth on it for 15 minutes at least 3 times a day for a few days and if it doesn't go away, then see a doctor.  

Answer 2

I would see the doctor first and let him refer you to a dermatologist if needed. The doctor is cheaper than a dermatologist.

Answer 3

Sounds like a sty.  Here is a home  remedy that works for my son when he gets one.   He takes a tea bag and soaks it in boiling water and then puts the tea bag on his eye lid (only as hot as you can stand it) for about 20 minutes.  It's the Tanic acid that does the trick.  But for safety sake seek out a professional opinion if this doesn't work.  Remember this is a home remedy so it may not work for you.

Answer 4

Eye doctor.  You may have an infection there and need eye drops and perhaps some other intervention to clean the area out.

Answer 5
