What Does A Painless Bump Below The Lash Line Indicate?

I have a small painless bump right below my lash line. It is literally touching my bottom eyelashes but not on the rim above my lashes. It isn t red or painful at all. It looks like a blister from a burn without the redness. It looks like its full of some sort of clear liquid. I don t know what it could be and I m not sure if it is something I should worry about. It s been there for over a month now. Hot compresses are not helping like if it wee a blocked tear duct or stye. It is very noticeable to me and I would like to know what it is, if it s anything serious and how to get rid of it. Any ideas?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
The description is consistent with diagnosis of Chalazion. It is inflammation due to blockage of meibomian glands in eye lids. Though it is not a serious condition, it may cause problem if it grows so big that it puts pressure on the cornea and causes visual disturbance. Antibiotic eye drops, oral antibiotics and hot compresses and slight pressure is the treatment of choice.
