Hi, my two year old son's upper eye lid was developed a small bump, not real big, maybe the size of a pea cut in half. It is red, not translucent, and does not seem to bother him. He has had it for almost two weeks and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. What should we do?
Thank you soooo much!!!! What a sigh of relief. I'll keep an eye (no pun intended) on it. Thank you!

Sounds like a healing folliculitis ("stye.") The lump will go away of you leave it alone. No treatment is either needed or helpful at this point. As long as it stays the same and slowly goes away, I'd do nothing. If it worsens -- not likely -- show it to someone.
best.
