Hi There,
Any idea what this is on my eyelid?
Came up a few weeks ago and I had hoped it would just clear itself.

Not painful. Should I go to a GP ?

Chazalion cyst. Treat with hot compresses. Lots of info on internet about them. They usually eventually resolve.

Looks like a cyst, my DP gets these on his eyelids too. He’s been told to gently massage them. They do disappear after a while.

It's a Chalazion caused by a bocked meibomiam gland. l have had several and in my case they usually resolve within a week. Apply a hot compress to the area as many times a day as you can manage and massage the area towards your eyelashes to clear the blockage. It should then drain on its own.

That is a chalazion. You have my sympathy. They are bastard things!

My son had one. Small minor op to remove it.
