oh yeah, i have been to a doctor, once.
I told her the details and she didn't even fliped back my eyelid to see the lump. She jsut gave me some kind of eye drop and a itch cream.
I think this has been on my eye for a few month, i don' tknow what to do or find another doctor.
If i do use contacts, wouldn't the lump interfere with it? My parents say that its me using the computer too much and that its my glasses fault but i don't see any relationship of doing so. If i was allergic, wouldn't my right plastic glasses rest on the nose be reddish too? Can you tell me what this disease is and what procedures i should do? thanks, got embarassed too much as school with the questionings about it

Definition:
Most bumps on the eyelid are styes. A stye is an inflamed oil gland on the edge of your eyelid, where the lash meets the lid. It appears as a red, swollen bump that looks like a pimple. It is tender, especially to touch.
Alternative Names:
Bump on the eyelid; Stye
Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
A stye is caused by bacteria from the skin that get into the hair follicle of the eyelash. Hair follicles contain oil glands that become inflamed from the bacteria. Styes are similar to common acne pimples that occur elsewhere on the skin. You may have more than one stye at the same time.
Styes usually develop over a few days and may drain and heal on their own. A stye can become a chalazion -- this is when an inflamed oil gland becomes fully blocked. If a chalazion gets large enough, it can cause trouble with your vision.

i imagine you've skill, in case you may want to easily end attempting so puzzling to sound inventive. that's so overdone and some words are very clumsy. you're overdoing the adjectives - decrease about 0.5 of those you've used. you also prefer to artwork on your spelling - there are a impressive form of mistakes, and your use of English is often incorrect. some examples - complimented skill 'reported how sensible it grow to be' - you recommend complemented. 'peace-loving lullaby' - lullabies can not love some thing, and they are all non violent - go away it out. The previous stressful of 'strew' in strewn. The plural of butterfly is butterflies. "like warmth melted ice-cream with chilly lumps nonetheless left in." - sorry, yet that is merely ghastly. you fulfil aims (nor forfil) her lips were juiceless??? Ew! Why do not you search for a imaginitive writing classification and commence engaged on simplifying your form, spelling each and every little thing appropriate, and many times being a lot less flowery. the perception is large - it merely receives swallowed up with assistance from the thousands of unnecessary adjectives!

It sounds like a stye with conjunctivitis as a secondary infection. I can't be sure without an assessment, but I would go and get to the docs for some antibiotics.

This Q & A might help you:
Q: I have developed what I believe is a sensitivity to silicone — my skin reacts to nose pads on my glasses, the skin becomes red and eventually (if not treated) will develop a blister-like sore. I have tried the "hard" nose pads, but they also irritate, though not as severely as the soft pads. Is there a source for non-silicone nose pads? — C.S., Canada
A: Great question! I asked Pat, one of our terrifically talented opticians. She said that vinyl nose pads are indeed available for people who are sensitive to silicone. She added that it is very likely your frame also needs to be readjusted to distribute its weight evenly, taking the pressure off your nose. She also pointed out that vinyl nose pads come in different sizes and shapes — yours may need to be altered to fit you better.
My thought is... try contact lenses. Your nose will appreciate you! — Dr. Dubow

Sounds like conjuntiveitis. Its a form of eye infection.
Your doctor should have given you eye drops to place
into the eye several times a day and this should clear it up.
It usually takes 2 weeks.

You don't have to change doctors. Call the one you already have and explain to them that the condition is back and worse and you'd like to know what it is and if there is a test to be sure. Then you want stronger treatment. Good Luck.

It sounds like a stye to me. They normally go away after a day or two but if it doesn't, you should see a doctor.

it may be a sty. that is jsut something caught in one of the ducts of your eyelid. wash your eyelids with a mild soap (be careful though!)
