What Causes A Small Cystic Lump Near The Tear Ducts?
Hi! I've had a small cystic lump near my tear ducts. It's been there for more than 8 months. It's quite hard and it sometimes itches (no pain, no redness) but it doesn't really bother me much. But just today I felt an urge to rub my finger on it since it itches. Then the lump on my skin seems like it drained somewhere for it was totally gone what's weird is I immediately smell something foul in the instance that the cyst disappeared. There was no drain on the skin where it used to be. So i immediately rinsed my eye and soap my face just in case it's leaking from the inside of my tear ducts which might spread to my eye. I've tried looking for symptoms online but failed to find anything that would fit what just happened to me. I hope you can help me figure out what this might be so I'll know to which specialist I should go to. Thank you very much!!!
Hi, from history it seems that there might be having chronic Dacro-cystitis i.e. inflammation in tear duct causing obstruction in tear duct and swelling. Put antibiotic drops in eye for few days with gentle massage. If there is no improvement then consult ophthlmologist and get examined. You might require opening of duct or minor surgical procedure to clear obstruction. Ok and take care.
