Why do I have a lump under my eyelid?
A chalazion (or meibomian cyst) is a small lump or swelling in the eyelid, containing fluid or semi-solid material. It is a fairly common condition and is caused by a blockage in one of the small glands in the eyelid, called the meibomian gland. Often, the blocked gland becomes inflamed or infected.

Because the stye looks like a pimple, you might want to squeeze or pop it. Don’t do that. It can spread the infection or make it worse. Styes that come back might be tied to an eye condition called blepharitis.
Do eyelid cysts go away?
