Hello everyone, I was hoping maybe someone might be able to help me figure out if what I'm concerned about is actually of concern. For months, I have had a small lump on my upper eyelid (more like it started in my eyelid and grew out, if that makes sense) on my right eyelid. It's not terribly large, but if I close my eyes the bump is noticeable. I at first thought, okay maybe it's just a blocked gland of some sort. But, I've had this for awhile, and every now and then it feels like something is in my eye - not all the time, but it does happen.
So, with that being said, this lump has not gone away since I discovered it, and truth be told I would forget I even had it until I had to itch my eye, or I felt like something was in it and then I would remember I had it. I'm concerned that it's a basal cell carcinoma, or a sebaceous gland carcinoma, or something else. I see that it could be a chalazion, but I've had this long enough to where I don't think that's the case. And when looking at the inside of my eyelid, there's no ulceration or anything, it looks almost like a pimple as my mom put it. This is actually freaking me out because it's a physical symptom that I can always see. I'll probably be making an appointment with my GP and see if I'll get a referral to an ophthalmologist, but in the meantime, it's always on my mind.
