What Could A Bump On The Eyelid Be?

I have a small bump on the center of my eyelid. It is raised and tiny, about the size of a grain of salt. It is not red, swollen, inflamed, or itchy. The only time I really notice it is when I put on eyeshadow. It has been there for about a week. What is it, and how could I get rid of it?

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having a bump on the eyelid. The most common cause bump on the eyelid is inflammatory swelling of the glands of the eyelids in the form of chalazion. The treatment in the initial stages is by use of antibiotic eye drops and anti-inflammatory drugs. In later stages usually surgery in the form of incision and curettage is required.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

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

Thank you
With regards
