bump under eye

[ashes1940]

hi, i have this small lump looked under my eyebrow. It reminds me of a pimple,  it hurts when i touch it and sometimes itches. It comes and goes and is always in the same spot, but never any zit forms. when i was getting my eyebrows waxed a couple of months ago i had it and the lady doing them seemed to have some type of concern about it. i know she is not a doctor but it made me think It was there for a couple weeks then left and now its back again. These arent the first times i have had it. So i was wondering if you could tell me anything you may think it is?

Hi,

There could be several causes of the symptoms you are having including a cyst, skin tag, ectropion or oxalosis.

1. Ectropion is  Inversion of eyelids outwards.
2. Oxalosis is  A rare inherited metabolic disorder where excess oxalic acid forms crystals which make up urinary stones.
3. Sebaceous cyst: Cyst producing sebum.

The most like cause seems to be sebaceous cyst but nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesion. Symptoms of Sebaceous cyst

    * Painless smooth skin lump
    * Thick yellowy sebum in the lump

Always seek professional medical advice about any treatment or change in treatment plans.Treatment for Sebaceous cyst

    * Watchful waiting - many sebaceous cysts are harmless and need no treatment until they cause any symptoms.
    * Surgical removal of sebaceous cyst
    * Treatment of sebaceous abscess:
          o Antibiotics
          o Surgical drainage of abscess

If the symptoms still persist, consult your skin specialist or dermatologist.
