It looks like a Chalzion. I've had one myself and toddlers can get them too.

They sometimes come from an infection called Blepharitis which is an infection of the eyelashes. Has DD ever had crusty eyelids?

Hi

Did you ever find out what the issue on her eyelid is? Did it went away. I just noticed the same on my 2 years old toddler.

Please let me know. Thank you

Hi.. Im a dad a wee bit worried here. My 3yr old has the same kinda lump. Do these go away on their own?
Thanks

Did you ever get this resolved? This looks very similar to something my son has, and he’s now had two ultrasounds and is being booked for an MRI. Our physicians are pretty mystified. Would appreciate anyone’s experience.

Hi. My 4 year old also have the same type of lump on the upper eyelid. Is this is to be worried?

Hi did anyone ever find out please? My little girl has similar, smaller than in the photo probably the size of a pinhead but otherwise the same. She’s had chronic blepharitis for nearly a year poor thing so assuming it may be some kind of blockage?

In case it’s reassuring, my son is now 5.5 and this has all but disappeared. We didn’t have to remove it, because as he grew it didn’t and now it seems to be a non-issue.
