Understanding Eye Bumps: Causes and What to Do
A gray bump on your eye could be a number of things, including:
* A chalazion: A chalazion is a small, round, painless bump that forms on the eyelid. It is caused by a blocked oil gland.
* A hordeolum: A hordeolum, also known as a stye, is a small, red, painful bump that forms on the eyelid. It is caused by a bacterial infection.
* A papilloma: A papilloma is a small, fleshy growth that can form on the skin, including the eyelids. It is caused by a virus.
* A cancer: In rare cases, a gray bump on the eye could be a sign of cancer.
If you are concerned about a gray bump on your eye, it is important to see an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment.
