This lump seems to be due to an extremely severe inflammation of the conjunctiva (chemosis). Differentials include cysts, infections, benign or more sinister type of tumors. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops as a first approach but it is best to perform a full ophthalmologic examination. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
