Not all eyelid bumps are “just a stye” 👁️
Spots or lumps on your eyelid can have a range of causes — some harmless, others needing urgent attention. Here are a few examples:
🔹 Chalazion
🔹 Hordeolum (stye)
🔹 Pyogenic granuloma / reactive haemangioma
🔹 Granulomatous inflammation (linked to conditions like sarcoidosis, syphilis, or tuberculosis)
🔹 Other eyelid tumours
🔹 Basal cell carcinoma
🔹 Squamous cell carcinoma
🔹 Cutaneous horn
While many eyelid lesions are benign, some can be signs of more serious conditions ⚠️
If you notice:
👁️ A lump that doesn’t go away
👁️ Changes in size, shape, or colour
👁️ Bleeding, crusting, or ulceration
👁️ Recurring “styes” in the same spot…it’s important to have it checked by an optometrist.
Early assessment can make all the difference — for your eye health and your overall wellbeing 💙
Don’t ignore what your eyes are trying to tell you
