Its a stye. I get em sometimes. If you go to the store you can buy cream and eye drops for them. I buy these https://www.google.com/search?q=Stye+eye+drops&hl=en&safe=active&client=safari&tbo=d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=a4MTUf26OsS8yAGqpYCACA&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=320&bih=356#i=0 and https://www.google.com/search?q=Stye+eye+cream&hl=en&safe=active&client=safari&tbo=d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=iIMTUa7JG8PmygGo3YGQCQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=320&bih=416#i=0

Make sure it hurts though. If you have a bump and it doesnt hurt at all it could be a chazillion or however you spell it. Those are much worse.

My friend has one of those and she doesn't wear any make up. She told me if you hold a warm wash cloth on your eye for 10 minutes a day for 7 days it should go away. Hope this helps! Oh, and she said its not harmful at all.

Go to a qualified beauty therapist or get a facial, they just need to be extracted doesn't hurt, easiest and quickest way is to lance it open with a tiny slit on top and then use a vacuum (specialized vacuum !!) to suck it out, takes two seconds :)

They're like little pimple on your eyelids from not removing makeup. I get them as well when I'm being lazy. They will usually go away on theirown

Sounds like milia to me

Kellyn The white material in a milium (single for milia) is made up of cells from the dead skin layer called the stratum corneum. Unlike cystic acne (also called an epidermal inclusion cyst), milia do not form from a pore; they are just a pocket of normal skin that somehow indented, sealed over and the dead cells got trapped.

Hope that was helpful...let me know if you need me to explain anything differently sugar

I want to thank everyone for their input, it's greatly appreciated! After looking at all the responses I've seen that the two things this most likely is, is either a sty or milia. After googling for a little while I realized I've had stys before, I get those on my lash line and are pretty painful, so I've ruled that out. So my guess is that it's milia. The look of the bumps look pretty much like the pictures on google, luckily I only have two! But to be sure I'm going to my dermatologist just to be super sure! Again, thank you for taking time to help me out! :)

That looks like milia. You could go to an optometrist or esthetician. I usually try remove mine with pointy tweezers. Be careful if you want to do it yourself. No I don't have any scarring from removing them myself. I don't think it's a stye, stye is an infection, it gets red, swollen and painful.

It looks like milia. I have a few of them on my eyelids and around the inner corners of my eyes. When I used to work at a medical centre one of the nurses removed the biggest ones quickly and easily with a small needle and fine scalpel. It doesn't hurt to have them removed and if your GP won't do it and you're still wanting them removed, ask the doctor to refer you to a dermatologist.
Don't be worried or disheartened if you notice new ones down the track though.
