CAN I TAKE VISINE OR VITAMINS FOR EYELID GROWTH ?

HELP WITH EYELID GROWTH -- ANY VITAMINS I SHOULD TAKE? WHAT CAN YOU SUGGEST? WHAT ABOUT VISINE, OR AN EYEWASH, AND WHAT KIND? Recently I noticed this growth on my eyelid, and it's growing rapidly, and I'm concerned. It does not hurt, nor does it affect my eyesight, but still, somethings quite wrong, and the appearance of it is growing. A friend suggested I take Vitamin A, what home remedy can you advise since I don't have a doctor, nor the money for a doc? Also, I think it appeared since I've been using the computer daily, and all the radiation, and cathode rays, etc. -- who knows -- but I've heard that the computers are putting out invisible waves, and my skin, and body are highly susceptible to who knows what. Tell me Doc if you think it's because of the computer, because I know it only started when I started using the computer daily. Is there an eyepatch I should wear on my right eye? Help. Please help confused, and concerned. Thank you kindly.

Dear charlotte.newsfile, Thanks for the question. Any growth on the eyelid is unlikely to go away with any eyewash or vitamins. The growth most commony found on the lids are warts and chalazion which is actually not a growth but a swelling seen on lids.Chalazion if diagnosed can be easily treated by incision and drainage along with antibiotics. The other though rarer possiblities are cancerous growth and especially if it is changing size and/or appearance it should be properly investigated by an ophthalmologist.

Hi... A recent growth which is rapidly growing may not be related to tumour. The other cause for the growth could be because of just the inflammation.. You may try hot fommentation over the swelling.. If ulceration or any other secondary changes are noticed you may need antibiotics.. Computer radiations usually affect the eyes and you may need to use the antiglare glasses.
