Lump on Eyelid

[julie]

Hello

My 3 year old daughter has an off-and-on problem with her left eye. She gets a lump under the skin on her left eyelid.
It does not affect the white of her eye or her vision, but it does swell and almost completey close her eye when its irriatated. This has happened twice since January, but I'm not sure what it could be caused from.
Looking at her on a day to day basis, you can't tell there's anything wrong when there's no irritation present and the reason for the irritation seems unknown. Doctors are still baffled what would cause this.
What could cause this?

Thank you,
Julie

Hi Julie,
I'm not totally sure, but I was thinking the way you worded it - is something she is seeing irratating her? Left is feeling - is she feeling irratated and not wanting to see something? So closing off her eye?

Left eye is the emotional eye - look at what was happening around her when this began. Another child, for example?

Another possibility - as her female eye, it could also represent not seeing the female - not seeing her mother. Could she be angry at you about something?

Hi
Thank you for your replies!
Our situation is unike, so at 3 years old my daughter goes to 1/2 day school a few times a week while my 8 year old son is homeschooled.
She never resists going to school, but she does get uprooted a bit when I have to leave her other times, even if its with close family.
She and I do spend alot of time together, and she seems very open to tell everyone what she thinks or feels at all times. Maybe I need to be more receptive to the needs she doesn't express?

If it appear again, see what is going on for her at that time in terms of her emotions and/or her sense of connection with you.
