Meibomian Cyst

Hi,

My 16 months old has a small lump on top of his left eyelid. Took him to the doctor and he said is meibomian cyst. Told me that it will go away in a month time or so. But it has been around for at least 2 months. Read from website that you can actually steam it away.

Will like to know has anyone try it before? And how do you hold on an active toddler and steaming his eyelid for 10-15 mins?

Thank you.

Re: Meibomian Cyst

If it was pretty much anywhere else on his body then not so bad, but around his eye, leave it alone. Ya don't wanta be steaming it too hot and damage his eye, or really any part of his skin for that matter. I get them now and then, they're annoying, but harmless and they will go away - eventually. One I had took a couple of years to go away fully, but it did eventually by itself. If it concerns you, get a second opinion as there are so many different types of cysts and things in existance, without a biopsy it can be hard to tell for absolute certain. But if it's not causing a problem, I'm inclined to say don't worry about it until it becomes a problem. If it gets bigger or changes colour or anything weird like that, then get back to a doctor asap.
