They are too small to get accurate picture of. I've only noticed it today. No itching or discharge, but have had pain once or twice in the area that began after a trapped eyelash a few months ago. Pain usually only lasts a few hours and is gone again. I have a history of blocked glands around eye, had one in corner of right eye for months that popped on its own. The smaller bump looks like a tiny red pimple, and the bigger one like a bubble as I said. Concerned it could be something serious as have a history of health anxiety.
Brief Answer:
Blockage of glands
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for follow up query.
According to your explanation it is mostly due to blockage of glands which can be chalazion or stye. Since you do not have redness, tearing, pain and effect on vision I can say there is nothing serious. Mostly it heals on it's own.
I suggest you warm compression for 4-6 times a day for 15 minutes which helps to reduce swelling and it may open the blockage.
Do light massage over effected area for 5 minutes. It helps to open the blockage. You can use refresh eye drops 4-5 times a day.
If you are having pain, you can take anti inflammatory medications.
If you do not see improvement after 3 days or If bumps are increasing in size then I suggest you to see your Ophthalmologist.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
