Is A Growth On My Eyelid Thats Been There Over A Week A Serious Concern?
Question: i have something on my eyelid thats been there over a week now. ive used a hot compress on it, but it doesn seem to be going away. See photos
There seems to be a swelling with redness on the eye lid. It looks like an external hordeolum which is a blocked and inflammed glands in the eyelid. Besides hot compressess, it would be better to start an antibiotic ointment to treat infection. Sometimes, medical treatment may not be helpful and a minor surgical treatment where the gland is incised and content are drained to promote healing.
I will recommend you see a doctor who after physical examination will suggest the best possible treatment option.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
