I'm sorry those two links are the same
The first one that
I meant to put was
http:

/001009.htm
for the general eye bump problem.
I don't think it's from menopause unless
it is actually more of an "acne" bump that
is tender to the touch. This is called
hormonal acne, just like what teens most
often get while their hormones are
changing and unbalanced. That's just my
guess. Like the article says, it's
important to have good hygiene and most
styes will go away on their own. However,
since she's had these for at least 6
months, she should probably have them
checked out by the doctor because of the
possible very harmful underlying causes.

Other possible eyelid bumps include:
*
Xanthelasma - raised yellow patches
on your eyelids that can happen with age.
These are harmless, although they are
occasionally a sign of high cholesterol.
*
Papillomas - pink or skin colored
bumps. They are harmless, but can slowly
grow, affect your vision, or bother you
for cosmetic reasons. If so, they can be
surgically removed.
*
Cysts - small fluid-filled sacs that
can affect your vision.
Besides, everyone of that age should be
having yearly checkups anyway!
