Skin Tags On Eyelids

skin tags on eyelids
What is the bump on my lower eyelid?

I know it’s not a sty. It almost looks like a little skin tag. Almost, but not really. It’s on the top of my lower eyelid like on the very edge. And I can scratch it off really easy but after a while it always comes back. It doesn’t hurt. Sometimes bothers me like when I blink I can feel it on my eyeball, but it never hurts, like not even when I scratch it off. Anyways, just wondering if anyone else ever gets them and if you do what it is! Thanks :)

It could be milia.

“Milia are common non-cancerous (benign) skin findings in people of all ages….Milia are formed when skin does not slough off normally but instead remains trapped in a pocket on the surface of the skin. An individual milium is formed (derived) from a hair follicle (pilosebaceous unit) or from a sweat gland (eccrine gland).”

A dermatologist can prescribe a retinoid cream that may help.
