Welcome to the ChatDoctorI understand your concerns. Champions are chronic, painless, granulators inflammation of the magician glands present on eyelids which results from obstruction of the gland duct. Usually if its having such a short history, in my opinion you can try the following measures:1. Warm compresses for 5-10 minutes, 4-5 times daily2.  A proper massage after warm compresses can encourage the cyst to Chat Doctor.  Do this gently, with a clean finger or cotton bud, in the direction of the eyelashes.3. Cleaning the eyelid twice per day removes grease and grime that may contribute to cysts forming. A weak solution of baby shampoo in warm water is ideal. If it's not associated with much discomfort then I would recommend you to wait and watch along with the above-mentioned measures. Hopefully it will respond without any need for surgery.
