bump on eyelid

I have two bumps under my eye on the eyelid. they are just little dots and I know they aren’t pimples because they have been there for about 3 months now. the size of them change sometimes. what are these?

Answer #1

It could be a “stye”. A stye is usually the result of a bacterial infection or blockage of an oil gland. It could also be a “chalazion” which is a little more serious. Check out this site for a complete description, and see a doctor or optometrist. http://www.visionweb.com/content/consumers/dev_consumerarticles.jsp?RID=34
