A chalazion appears as a small, painless lump or swelling on the eyelid, often resembling a round bump. It can vary in size, typically ranging from a few millimeters to over a centimeter, and may become red or swollen if inflamed. The skin over the chalazion usually remains smooth, and it may feel firm to the touch. In some cases, it can cause mild discomfort or pressure but is generally not associated with significant pain.
