What Causes Cyst On The Side Of Bridge Of Nose And Eye?

I have a hard cyst type of thing right on the side of the bridge of my nose and my right eye. It s been there for about a year. It doesn t hurt, and there has been no discharge. It seems bigger sometimes than others. Just wondering what it could be and if it can be treated.

Hi
Welcome to Health care magic.

I went through the history you have posted here. It seems from the history that you are having a cystic swelling on the bridge of the nose and eye.
This can be cystic swelling like dermoid cyst, sebaceous cyst or swelling of the lacrimal sac as a result of chronic dacryocystitis.
Since you are not having any discharge it is most probably dermoid cyst or a sebaceous cyst.
The treatment for most of these conditions is by surgical excision.
Hence you need to consult your doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
