Eyelid bump/lump? Help!

[JolieJ]

Yesterday I was rubbing my eyes and noticed a bump inside my right lower lid..it doesnt hurt, is quite hard, and its inside the lower lid, not on the surface. But when I flip my lid to look on the other side, I can see what looks like a fatty/clear bubbly lump.

What could it be? I'm panicking a bit, have chronic anxiety. I'm quite sure it wasn't there that long as I put on eye cream religiously and would have noticed it earlier I think...

Its not a stye, its not painful and seems more solid.

Could it be a build up of oil? I have very oily skin in general...but never had something like this.

Watching as I have the same op. No idea what it is

Chalazion?

Blepharitis? please see an optician.

Yes I'm trying to book an appointment.

It doesn't seem like blepharitis...

Ohh I get these when my allergies are bad. I have to stop wearing my contact lenses because of them. Obviously go see an optician and get it checked even if it's just for your peace of mind

That's interesting, I do wear daily contact lens and have started suffering from dry eyes recently

I've had a cyst inside the lower eyelid removed and can sense it occasionally recurring. Tingling, pain down cheek, watery eyes. Also have blepharitis. Hot compresses and drops help reduce it.

Blocked duct? You can get a warm compress and massage to release it.

Could be a stye. I had one last year on my upper lid. Went to opticians who confirmed and said to use a warm compress then lightly massage along the lid.

When I flip the lid I can see what looks like a yellowish mass protruding. Could that be blocked oil residue?

Managed to get an optician appointment for 1:45 today, hopefully I'll get some answers and peace of mind then

Yes. Sorry I should have added that I had a build up of oil somehow and it popped like a spot when optician massaged it out. I also wear contacts and have dry eyes. Hopefully all is ok with you op.

@lovingtheheat thank you that's very reassuring, it's most likely that due to contact lens and dry eyes and my overactive oily skin and glands. I'll update after the appointment :)

On another note, this may be the tipping point for me restarting my anxiety meds again...I had been doing okay without them for almost a year, seeing a therapist and trying to manage my health anxiety but as soon as something like this triggers it I just can't function. I'm not sure what the answer is but that's a whole separate issue!

So Optometrist had a look and he also said he thinks it's a chalazion, so basically a build up of oils due to a blocked gland.

He told me to buy a heating eye mask to use and then massage the spot and then wipe with a sterile eye wipe. I just did that and I noticed a tiny bit of bright yellow gunk on it so it must have worked. I'll keep doing this and see how it looks in a few days!

See my post above in case it helps :)

Pleased all sounds ok!
