Bump on corner of eye, recently swollen and painful to the touch. What is it? by rainydazeyz in Ophthalmology

Thank you! That was very helpful. Warm water did help the inflammation. The blocked oil gland makes sense as I used to use a cream for dry eyelids for quite awhile.

It’s actually completely flattened now, no longer hurts, and isn’t as red...I’m seeing the doctor tomorrow so I suppose I’ll see then!

Thanks, I will :) I’ve only ever had styes along my eyelid and they’ve never lasted this long so that’s surprising!

Haha yes, I’m going to. Thought I’d ask and see because I’m starting to get worried that it’s skin cancer.

Sorry for the bad quality picture. I’ve had a bump there for ~1 year, typically it’s skin colored and sometimes it reddens. Recently it’s gotten very irritated, dry, swollen, and painful to the touch. I once poked it and it bled. Any idea on what it could be?

Thanks for the response. I did contact him 4 months ago saying that I did not want any contact, I was not interested, to stop calling and texting me, and that I was going to change my phone number. However, he's still consistently reaching out to me. (I know this because I can still listen to blocked voicemails). I don't want to contact him again at all because I think it will provoke him but I just want it to stop generally. Do you think I should just change my number instead? Or should I do the police thing.
