How To Get Rid Of The Bump On The Inside Of The Crease Of My Eyelid?

A while ago (about 2 years) I found a small bump on the edge of my upper lip. It didn't hurt, change size or color... It was just a bump with what looked like a small darker point in the middle. It wasn't noticeable unless you looked very closely. I thought after a while that it was maybe an ingrown hair, so I applied pressure to both sides of the bump. After a while, a very thick, opaque, yellowish fluid (I guess) started to come out of it and kept its shape when pressure was no longer applied. I used tweezers to pull the yellowish stuff out of it. One more has appeared in the same place several months later and I got rid of it the same way. A few months ago I noticed a little bump above my eye, on the inside of the crease of my eyelid. I know for sure that it wasn't there before, but I assumed it was a little sac of fluid underneath the skin, until recently, when I saw a darker point on it. What is the bump above my eye (identical to the one I found on my lip) and should I be worried about it? Is there anything I should do to get rid of it? (I applied some pressure to the outside of the bump and the same sort of thick yellowish stuff came out of it as well.)

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having recurrent bumps on the inner side of the eyelid. This indicates inflammation of the glands of the eyelids.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and antiinflammatory drugs.
Since you are having recurrent swellings, the risk factors need to be identified and treated. The common risk factors are uncorrected refractive errors, chronic blepharitis, chronic allergies of the eye and systemic conditions like Diabetes...
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
