What is this thing under my eye?

Posting for traffic. I’ve had it for about a month, I think it’s got slightly bigger. I don’t want to waste GP’s time if it’s likely nothing serious but it’s annoying me as it’s so visible. It’s about 7mm across, doesn’t itch but is slightly tender if I squeeze it. It feels rubbery rather than hard. Googling just comes up with chalazion but I think these are on the eyelids only?

GP won't think it's a waste of Time.

Pop in to a local pharmacy and ask?
Hopefully not the one in a thread yesterday where the OP was expected to display a rash on her breasts in a car park Grin

Subcutaneous cyst. You can have them removed professionally but unless it gets a lot bigger and affects your eye you would probably have to go private...

Especially as it's been there a month with no sign of disappearing

Ok thank you will see a pharmacist tomorrow, and GP if necessary
