What Are The Tiny Bump On Outer Rim Of Eyelid?

i have this tiny (like 1 or 2 mm) bump on the outer rim of my lower eyelid. it has been there for a couple weeks and looks like it might have fluid in it but i havent tried to pop it or anything. i think i've had the same thing at least once before, but on my inner eyelid, and i scraped it off, but because of the position of this one i cant (it's right where my eyelashes are growing from). then a couple days ago i noticed a second, even smaller bump on the inner eyelid and i scraped that off too...i just want to know what these are and why they keep coming back....does it have anything to do with allergies or lack of sleep?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having recurrent tiny bumps on the eyelid margin. This indicates inflammatory swellings of the glands of the eyelids.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics eye drops and antiinflammatory drugs.
The recurrence is because of presence of predisposing factors like blepharitis or un corrected refractive error or allergies or systemic causes like uncontrolled diabetes..
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for evaluation and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
