Hi, I'm currently waiting for a hospital appointment but I just don't know what my daughter has. The GP's don't seem to know either. Pics attached

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I’d ask an optician first

@SP01 could they be chalazions? My daughter had a huge one. Doctors told me it would eventually go. We did go to the opticians too because I was concerned and same info was given. Went after about 6 months. Worth getting checked out though especially if the doctor wasn't sure.

We've got a hospital appointment at the paediatric ophthalmology department so I'll wait and see what they say. If they aren't sure then I'll definitely take her to the opticians.

Thank you

They look like conjunctival inclusion cysts. I think she may have one under the top lid as well (she has a lump).
They do often go by themselves. They need to be checked, it's not that usual to have so many, but they're not dangerous in themselves.

Thank you for your response. Yes she has a few lumps under the eyelid as well. She's had them since December so I am quite worried now.
