General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What lesion you are describing to be having over your eyelid appears to be an 'internal hordeolum' or 'chalazion'.
It could have been caused due to a blocked gland. It may be treated conservatively by administration of antibiotic eye drops, a course of oral antibiotics and antiinflammatory - analgesic medications.
However, if it does not subside with conservative management, it needs to be removed by means of surgical intervention.
Kindly consult Opthalmologist in this regard for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
