A few weeks ago i developed a lump inside my lower eyelid. It isn't big enough to show through the skin but when i touch the area i can feel a small hard lump. Its possible its a stye, but unlike a stye there isn't any redness or pain or swelling, which makes me worried. Also its embedded inside my actual eyelid and styes are normally on the edge of your eye by the lash line. What if its eyelid cancer or something?? I'm also worried that maybe makeup caused it somehow, like what if I'm the one person in a million who was unfortunate enough to get eyelid cancer through makeup????

Could be a pimple on the inside ive gotten one from wearing expired mascara! You will not get cancer from makeup! But you can get a really bad infection or microscopic pimples! Don’t wear anything until it goes away! As long as it is not affecting your vision or causing any severe itching(even if it was causing severe itching I’m sure it’s something mild) I would not worry about it! Especially not being cancer!! ☺

it could also be a blocked/plugged follicle.

have you tried any warm compresses or anything like that?

i've never heard of eyelid cancer so i'm gonna guess you're pretty safe, there! ;)

Yeah I had a feeling its probably a blocked follicle...I did press the area with a warm cloth and i think that helped a little bit, because it seems to be getting smaller but i don't know if that's in my head lol

it probably is. get a warm washcloth and just let it sit on your eye until it's not warm anymore. you can do it several times a day. hopefully it helps!
