What Could Be The Tiny Lump On Left Eye Of A 2 Year Old?

Hi , my two yr old daughter has a tiny lump the size of a pea in her left eye right above the corner and next to the nose. It doesn't seem to bother her but when I feel it, it feels a harder than a vein, and softer than bone. Not sure if this is a cyst. What might it be?

Hai...it could be a meibomian gland cyst. Even if it doesn't bother her...I suggest you consult an opthalmologist as it could get secondarily infected. Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my reply, kindly rate it.
