Caruncula

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have noticed an increase in the size of your caruncula. This is nothing to be concerned about. This could be a part of the normal aging process with changes in the connective tissue around the eye. This will not overgrow your eye or impact your vision.

In summary
Enlarged caruncula normal
