Bump

I have this small bump under my right eyebrow that has been there for a few years now. It makes me feel as if it is weighing down my eyebrow, affecting my appearance. I'm not sure if it is a cyst. Could it possibly be a fat deposit? Everyone I show it to says it doesn't affect my appearance and they can't even notice it. I'm the only one that is able to feel it. I've tried going to the doctor but they did nothing to help. Is there anything I can do?

Fat does not accumulate like that in a discreet bump very often.  More likely it is a chalazion or oil cyst. See an Eye MD ophthalmologist physician. Find one at www.aao.org
