Facial cyst?

My daughter will be 5 in December and has a small white bump near the corner of her eye. It almost looks like a pimple but is not. It has hard and resembles a piece of rice. It has been about 6 weeks with no change. It is starting to bother her (I think mostly because she knows it is there and is touching it.) Have tried warm compress with no change.
What could this be? and does it need to be lanced by derm?
Thank you.
Mom

Hi,

This could be Milia, also known as milk spots or oil seeds,which are benign, keratin-filled cysts that can appear just under the epidermis. They are commonly associated with newborn babies but can appear on people of all ages. They are usually found around the nose and eyes. In children milia often disappears within two to four weeks.

This can sometimes be a result of harsh face washes or from repeated heat stress from hot showering on people with sensitive skins. Try to keep it clean and dry. If it persists, it would be best to have this evaluated further by your dermatologist.

Take care and regards.
