Por Poppit. I depends on what the lump actually looks like. Typically small fleshy normal skin colored lumps on the eyelids are Meibomian gland cysts, which are benign. However I would encourage you to let your vet examine this area to ensure this is nothing to worry about. You also have the option of sharing a photo with either myself or another expert via consultation request. Some owners elect to have these removed anyway, because they tend to get bigger in a lot of cases and cause constant irritation to the eye later b/c they constantly rub on the cornea. Plus they are a lot easier to remove when they are small, due to the limited amount of skin in this area.
