A "bump on eyelid" search came up with the following:

chalazion -- A small bump on the eyelid caused by an obstructed meibomian gland. Additional symptoms include light sensitivity, tearing and eyelid swelling. Chalazia are usually not painful unless they become infected.

nevus -- Birthmark, freckle or mole. Nevi are often brownish, but can be other colors as well, such as blue, black, reddish or skin-colored. Nevi can be raised or flat. The exact cause is unknown, but genetics and sunlight exposure appear to be factors. Some people also have freckles on the iris and/or retina.

papilloma -- Usually benign tumor, such as a wart or a skin tag; papillomas may be raised or flat, and can be a variety of colors, such as skin-colored, yellow, pink, brown or black. Eye papillomas are typically on the eyelid, but may also appear on the conjunctiva. The cause of papillomas is felt to be viral.

sty -- A small red bump on the edge of the eyelid caused by an infected gland. Additional symptoms include eyelid pain, eyelid swelling, eye pain or discomfort, foreign body sensation, light sensitivity and tearing.

xanthelasma -- A yellow, fatty spot or bump on the inner corner of either the upper eyelid, the lower one or both eyelids, often caused by a lipid disorder such as high cholesterol.

Your best bet is to ask your doctor.

No one'll be able to tell your for sure without seeing it. Easiest solution, go see a doctor/ dermatologist.

Well, I'm not entirely sure what it is because there is no picture or anything...and you say it's near your eye....
Well, It probably is sebum or whatever they call it. You know, when you still have oils dried up left in your skin and it gets very hard and can hurt if you try to get it out. I've had one that was there for like a year, so it could be that. You might wanna go to a dermetologist and ask him/her about it.

It's probably a sty! I got one.. and it took like 4 days to go away. It's caused bye make-up clogging your eye pores or something, I don't know. Whatever you do DON'T POP IT!!!!!!! Just wait for it to go away. I got some sty cream at the drugstore and it helps.

its a stye.

i just had one maybe 2 months ago ecept mine was in my eyelid on the top. it kept poking my eyeball so it hurt like hell.

warm washclothes will become your bestfriend. put it on your eye a couple times a day for 5 minutes.

itll go away by itself within a week or two. if it doesnt, go to a doctor. they can perscribe some medication for you.
