•Chalazion – Occurs when glands in the eyelids are blocked. It is usually painless however as it grows, the eyelid may get red, swollen, and sometimes tender to touch.

•Styes – occur when bacteria get into the oil glands in the eyelids and it becomes infected and inflamed. it is usually a small, red, painful lump and can be located outside or under the eyelid.

•Xanthelasma – yellow bumps that occur when certain fats build up under the skin, it is usually painless and these bumps tend to appear in older adults. In some cases, they indicate high cholesterol levels.
