Suggest Treatment For A Pimple Like Bump On Lower Eyelid
I have a white pimple like lump on my lower eye lid. It looks like you want to pop it to get the white puss out. Have tried but it doesn t release anything and becomes sore If I do this. Is it a cyst?? And how do I get rid of it?? I have had it for 3 weeks now.

Hello,
Since the lump has been there for about 3 weeks it must have formed a chalazion ( a kind of meibomian gland inflammation). Give warm compresses, for 10 minutes thrice a day for about 2 weeks. If the lump does not begin to reduce in size or it actually worsens then consult your ophthalmologist for surgical removal (Incision and curettage).
Regards
