What Causes Clear Lump On The Upper Waterline Of Eye?
Hi, so I have a small clear bump on my my upper waterline, I ve gotten them before and they usually go away on their own but I just wanted to know what it was. Online people usually tell me its caused by wearing someone else s or old make-up but I don t wear any.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Clear bump on upper waterline could be due to enlargement of sweat gland or sebaceous gland.
Blockage of sweat or sebaceous gland can lead to accumulation of secretions.
On the contrary, the the bump could be due to wearing of old make up, however, this possibility is ruled out because you do not wear make up.
I suggest you to consult an ophthalmologist for clinical assessment to diagnose the condition and to determine its cause.
Management of the condition can be done once diagnosis is made.
Thanks and take care
