Kindly upload the photos, diagnosis need to be confirmed
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to diagnose without examination, kindly upload the photos, to help you out.
I would like to know is it associated with pain, of not.
I need to diagnose whether it is stye or chalazion, before deciding about the treatment.
You can apply hot compression of it is providing you symptomatic relief. Keep the area clean.
I feel it is better to get your self examined by opthalmologist, that will be helpful in taking proper treatment.
Kindly get back, with the picture to help you out and also to comment on the skin.
Hope this helps.
Take care
