Wow! No idea but try a hot flannel. Take paracetamol to help with the pain, I know you wouldn’t automatically think to take a painkiller for this but it will help with the pain. Maybe phone the GP in the morning and ask if you can send a photo to look at.

“How do you treat a bump on the inside of your eyelid?
Treatment
Apply a warm, wet cloth to the area for 10 minutes. Do this 4 times a day.
Do NOT attempt to squeeze a stye or any other type of eyelid bump. Let it drain on its own.
Do NOT use contact lenses or wear eye makeup until the area has healed.”

Meibomian cyst?

TheYearOfSmallThings · 21/12/2021 20:49

I don't know but if you have an ophthalmologist they would be able to examine you, diagnose and prescribe antibiotics if needed. Probably easier than getting to see a GP

I think it’s a cyst. I had one recently. You need hot compresses and possibly antibiotic ointment.

I emailed a pic to my GP and they sent me a prescription for the ointment. Even though it was OTC the pharmacist wouldn’t give it to me otherwise.

It was gone in 3-4 days.

I get these. If it's the same then it's a chalazion cyst. You need anti bacterial cream and gentle massage twice a day to move the blockage up so it clears. Can you try to see your optician tomorrow? I emailed mine a picture (during lockdown) and he emailed me a prescription and helpful info right back.

Ds had styes like that & had to have a course of antibiotics, we got told if they got worse to come straight back or go to A & E as it could turn to cellulitis.

It’s commonly known as a style.
Charlizon and Melborian cyst are just other names for it.

Recommended treatment is hot compress.

Antibiotics only needed if very bad.
