What Causes Swelling And Itching In The Caruncle?
Cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The image you attached shows a cyst at the lacrimal caruncle.
Based on the appearance, I suspect it to be a sebaceous cyst. Most of times such cyst regress without any complications. If it becomes red or presents with pain, then using anti-inflammatory eye drops like Ketorlac eye drops is helpful. If it increases in size rapidly, you must consult a ophthalmologist immediately.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Please do ask if any doubts.

Visit Opthalmologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
I believe it is better you get it checked. If there is something filling it up, it may grow in size and can cause symptoms. It may have to be incised.
Please visit a Opthalmologist for the same.
