What Causes Temporary And Recurrent Lumps Above The Eye?
My husband keeps waking up with lumps rite above his eye. This is the 3rd time it s happened and every time it s on a different side. I thought it could do something with his sinuses. He said it s a little sore and they only last a day then goes away. What do you think it could be?

hi.
noted history of recurrent lumps above the eye. it may be a chalazion or meibomian cyst formation. usually, it resolves spontaneously. if the condition persists, antibiotic treatment may resolve it. if it's severe, surgical removal may be recommended. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably an ophthalmologist, if it's bothering you and is affecting your daily function already. also, avoid manipulation of the affected area.
hope this helps.
good day!!
