Dear user, it could be a chalazion or an entropion. It is a bacterial infection that will resolve after a course of antibiotics are taken. You can visit an ophthalmologist for this issue. In the meantime you can do a warm compress over the swelling if any pain appears. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a positive feedback as it helps me with my practice. Thank you.

Aap ki palak ki skin pr ek gangth fo gyi hai. Halazion is a small, usually painless, lump or swelling that appears on your eyelid. A blocked meibomian or oil gland causes this condition. An external stye is an infection in the area of the eyelash follicle and sweat gland. Aap se esh baare mai baat karna chahta hu taaki uchit upchar kr saku.

What is a Stye?
A stye or sty (hordeolum) is a red bump, sort of like a pimple, that forms on the outside edge of the eyelid. Your eyelids have lots of tiny oil glands, especially around the eyelashes. Dead skin, dirt, or oil buildup can clog or block these small holes. When a gland is blocked, bacteria can grow inside and cause a stye to develop.
Symptoms of a stye include:
Pain and swelling
Increased tear production
A crust that forms around the eyelid
Sorenes...more

Hi lybrate-user,
these lumps that you are describing can be due to a condition called chalazion, or it could be a healed stye, or even a cyst. Correct diagnosis without examination should be avoided. Normally they disappear with time, but if they don't and if they are multiple, like in your case, you should see an ophthalmologist and get it checked. Its management is quite simple and you can get rid of them in no time.
