Little red bump below my left eye
by nk88, Feb 16, 2009 06:13PM
I have a little red bump below my eye. Had it for over a week now. Does not hurt but it did cause my eye to look bruised the first couple days. The bump is stationed does not move around when I touch it. I only see it on my outer skin, can not see it within the inner lining of my eye. What could it be? Is there an at-home remedy I can do at home instead of visting the doctor?

I think that you are talking about a chalazion. A chalazion is a cyst in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a blocked meibomian gland, usually on the upper eyelid but can be there on lower eyelid also. Chalazions differ from styes in that they are usually painless apart from the tenderness caused when they swell up, and in size (chalazia tend to be larger than styes).
Apply hot wet compresses on the swelling and consult an ophthalmologist for topical or systemic antibiotics prescription.If it is a chalazion,then it may need scrapping.
I sincerely advise you to consult an ophthalmologist and get it evaluated as without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep us posted if you have any additional queries.
