What Causes Puffiness At The Outer Corner Of The Eye?

default
Posted on Wed, 8 Jun 2016
Question: I have two puffy looking areas at the outer corner of my eye. I thought they were just puffy bags; however, when I stretched the upper puffy area a lump was there. It does move slightly when touched and feels hard. It is about the size of a small pea. What should I do?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
welcome to HCM.

From the facts you have posted here,this small lump could be a stye but I am not sure.

For that,I will need to see that small lump in order to come at a certain diagnosis.

Without inspection,it is very difficult to tell about that lump around your corner of eye.

So,please take a good quality picture of your eyes and upload it.

I will give my opinion after that.

Awaiting your response.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip Kabra
