General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

What you are describing sounds like a hordeolum, or stye, which is inflammation and small abscess of the eyelid. Sometimes after this resolves, they can form a small bump called a chalazion. These do not need any treatment and usually go away on their own over days to weeks. You can try putting a warm compress, like a warm towel, over your eye for 10-15 minutes, 3-4 times a day to help it to drain and resolve quickly. If it doesn't go away and it is bothering you, you should see an ophthalmologist and check if it needs to be surgically removed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Aaron Branch, General & Family Physician
