Found Pea Size Hard Lump Under Eye Lid. Underlying Cause?
Thanks for your query.
Presence of lump under eye lid can be due to:
1. Stye- acute infection/inflammation of the glands in the eye lashes.
Associated with pain, swelling & watering of eyes.
2. Chalazion- chronic infection/inflammation of the meibomian glands of the eyelids.
Seems to be the probable diagnosis.
It is usually larger in size & not associated with pain.
3. Concretions
4. Meibomian cyst
Management involves:
1. Hot fomentation.
2. Application of topical antibiotic ointment.
3. Smaller lesions can be managed by injection with a corticosteroid.
4. Surgical management- done in case it is not controlled by medications.
So, it will be better to consult an Ophthalmologist & get a proper physical examination done to find out the exact cause.
Based on that, appropriate management steps could be taken.
There is no need to worry, your daughter will be fine.
Wishing her a good health.
Let me know if I need to clarify further.
Thanks & take care.
Thanks for your review query.
There are no lymph nodes around the eyes, so the possibility can be ruled out.
As I have already mentioned, this site is suggestive of Chalazion, hence kindly consult an Ophthalmologist for further management.
Hope I have been able to answer your query.
Please let me know if you have any further queries.
Take care.
