Is Bump on my Eye a Large Milia?
I have a medium sized bump on the inside corner of my left eye. It's not painful, and never gets red. I think it's too big to be milia, but what do I know?

Eye a large milia
Diagnosis: epithelial inclusion cyst (milia), Meibolian gland cyst, infected sty, ingrown eyelash hair. Treatment is a visit to the MD eye doctor for care.

Epidermal Inclusion Cyst
This is most likely an enlarged milium called an epidermal inclusion cyst ( or follicular-infundibular cyst, follicular cyst) sometimes erroneously referred as a sebaceous cyst. The second possibility is an eccrine hydrocystoma. However, the lateral portion of the eye (lateral canthus) is a more common site for this benign lesion. The medial canthal area, as your photograph demonstrates, is the more common site for an epidermoid cyst.
Do not toy with these yourself....
