What should I do about this bump on my eyelid?!


Question: I've seen lots of answers about "millia" on here, but I'm pretty sure this is something different.

I've had this bump on my lower eyelid near the outer corner of my eye since I was about 10 years old. It has never hurt me nor bothered me (unless I was trying to put eyeliner on). I'm 24 now, and apparently it's started growing a bit, because my friend and my mom have both commented on it in the past two weeks.

It doesn't hurt, it's kind of "bubbly-looking", and is generally the same color as my skin. Is it getting ready to pop or something?

It is most likely a blocked gland; however, if it is suddenly growning see an opthalmologist. I may need lancing and then a course of antibiotics.

I dont know what yours looks like but my friend had a tiny pimple like dot on her eyelid for 2 years and we decided to pop it and we did and puss came out like a pimple. I dont know if you have the same thing as her but i think you should get that checked out.
