Is this a stye?

The small bump in the middle of lower eyelid. Painless for now. Noticed this today after yesterday trying on contact lens and a few rounds of practice as first time user. I was given a bottle of Abbot MPS for cleaning my contacts.  Can this be used to disinfect my eye?

Update. Got the chance to see my retinal ophthalmologist today. She says its a mole as she can see hair growing out of it. I told her it just doesn't look like a mole to me and it came out after i tried on contacts the day before. No further comment from her.

It has not grown any further since day 1 though.

I can't add any info.

The photo is not sharp and out of focus. Likely not a stye which is usually red, hot, painful.  Given its painless could be an inclusion cyst, sebaceous cyst or even a chalazion. Do not use contact lens solution on your eyelid. Ask the Eye MD or optom OD that fit your contacts to look at it for a proper diagnosis.

Thanks always, Dr Hagan. I googled pics of inclusion and sebacious cysts and they look more like mine but I can't differentiate between the two. Have been to my eye doc quite frequently since my vitrectomy, i might just wait to see if it goes away first before rushing to the clinic on monday.

That's reasonable.

That cyst has not changed one bit. Can I take it as harmless?  My next appt with my retinal specialist is next thursday though. I should not wear contact now since this came out after the day i practiced putting it on? Thanks.

No way from looking at it or from what it hasn't done that can predict what it will do in the future. The picture you posted look like a benign lesion. Just ask your retina MD next thursday. Hold off on the contact lens

Thanks, Dr Hagan.
