Anyone with a stye like thing on your eye during pregnancy. It is a small red lump/spot near my tear duct. I've been prescribed fusidic acid ointment but this is not working.

Anyone having similar issues or have any idea what this is?

Is it painful?

Only if I touch it

It is probably a stye & not pregnancy related. You could see an optometrist if you're worried but they usually go on their own but can be a bit stubborn. There are lots of suggestions online for simple things you can try that might help.

It's been there for about 7 weeks. I've used the drops from the doctor. I don't think it's a stye neither did the doctor.

See an optometrist then - or if your GP can't sort it ask for a referral to ophthalmology.

Could be a cyst? Have you been stressed lately? I used to get them due to stress. Unfortunately if it is that mine had to be removed surgically, not sure if that would be am option during pregnancy.
