Dark Ball on Inside of Upper Eyelid
88 answers - active on Oct 20th 2021
Recently I noticed that my right eyelid is slightly puffy. I am a contact lens wearer, but have not been wearing them for the past few weeks just to be safe. I had been feeling as if something were caught in my eye for days and had difficulty getting my contacts in. A few days later, an eyelash and some sort of fine, but slightly coarse fiber came out of my eye - I'm not sure how long either of these were lost in there, could have just been thirty seconds, but I did not feel anything go IN. As I was looking at my eye, I pulled back the corner of my right eyelid and discovered a dark, black-ish looking bump on the inside of my lid. It is not visible from the outside, as it tucks a little bit into my skull, if you know what I mean. But when I stretch my eyelid (see picture below), it is very apparent.
I have googled this to DEATH and cannot find anything. I have had a chalazion in the past and know that they can be very tender and sensitive. They also tend to be whiteish in color due to pus build-up. This bump is dark and does not hurt at all. It is just a little bothersome and curious. I am going to the opthamologist within the next few weeks, but I was just curious what anyone thought this could be. Thank you.

Approximately 5-months ago I developed a dark blue bump, about the size of a peanut, near the outside corner of my left eye. The opthalmologist said it was a benign condition called a conjunctival cyst, ( thin-walled sac or vesicle that contains fluid. This vesicle may develop either on or under the conjunctiva. It develops due to variety of causes such as infection, inflammation, retention cyst and rarely drug induced). In many cases, it resolves on its own. But sometimes it does not resolve on its own and needs to be surgically removed.

What was it? I have the same thing.
Too all of you asking if your hot allergic to benadryl take a double dose and drink some warm water, try and nap, honestly it could be a surprisingly quick allergic reaction to something in the air.
This may be your answer. I have one that I have to go to an opthamologist about next week.

I have this also. Do not try to prick it with a needle. Keep makeup and lotions away from your eye socket area and gently brush and massage the margins of your -- closed eyelids -- with a washcloth morning and evening washing your face with whatever you generally use. Mine always start with the feeling of a pinprick in my eye.
Wat happen I have it
I had this exact same thing.
Was in my eye for about 4 years. Started to get bigger where you could see the bump on the outside of me eye.
Finally had an optometrist cut it out.
Sent it to the lab and came back as a cyst.
They are harmless but can grow bigger and can be sore at times.
Glad mine is gone.
It's a chalazion- nothing to worry about, just a little bit unsightly. I've had mine a couple of years now and beginning to consider having it removed privately...
Anyone come up with anything just found out I have the same thing today I just found a good lead but no reply just a bunch of us with This problem
I have the same thing as well and haven’t been able to find anything online other than this thread! I’ve been seen by my GP and an Optometrist and both said it’s just a cyst and not to bother it... not exactly sure where to go from here as I want it OUT!
I am wondering the same thing !. Bc I have it as well & I’ve wondered why my head hurts from time to time … I need answers to what is this thing ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Hello,
Several years ago, I noticed in both outer , same exact like the photo. I thought it was normal. When rubbing the left eye and noticed too much tears. It didn’t hurt and I noticed it was gone. Years later the right still exists. Recently kinda itchy and hoping the same will happen as the left. Only bother is the sight of it.
