Upper Eyelid Swelling

My right Upper Eyelid has been swollen since 8-9 years.  The swelling either increases or remains a little swollen but has never diminished completely.  There is only pain when the swelling increases.  I have no other problem other than this i.e. constant swelling and pain when swelling increases.

Have shown to doctors, they say it is an infection, pus is collected in my right upper eyelid, tried with eye drops Toba DM but swelling did not go.  Therefore doctor has suggested operation in which they will remove the pus along with the sac which has collected the pus.

My concern is whether this operation a good solution?  What are the chances of reoccurence?

Kindly post me the reply to my mail id: sharmila.***@****

Thanks & Regards,
Sharmila

An infection does not last that long. You should consider seeing an ophthalmologist and having the bump biopsied or removed surgically entirely
