I'm Nikhil and I'm from Bangalore. I'm 28 and I've developed this swollen bump on my upper eyelid on the right side. It's a bit itchy and I feel some pain, especially towards the edge.

Do you think homeopathy could be effective for this? And if it's possible, how long would it take to see any results? I'm just trying to explore all my options here.
