lid inclusion cyst
This is a closeup of an inclusion cyst on the lower eyelid of an eye. You can see that it looks yellow … this is because it is filled with yellow keratin secretions. This cyst is easily treated by excising it and expressing the contents.

To get a better idea how this bump looks in relation to the eye, you may want to watch our inclusion cyst video from which this snapshot was captured.
