Son with cream coloured spot inside eyelid

My son is 13 and is complaining of an itchy / sore spot inside his bottom eyelid. It is approx 2-3mm round, flat and creamy yellow in colour.it doesnt look like a stye. He has used an Optrex eyewash and this has helped ease the discomfort. Can anyone give me some advice as our doctors clinics in the UK dont open at the weekend! Thanks.

Thankyou John, It got larger and redder  adn began weeping a coloured liquid so I called an emergency doctor. He has been prescribed drops for a type of conjunctivitis, unfortunately this affected a small stye and its the stye that has become infected. Thankyou though!

It doesn't sound that urgent. It may be any number of things mostly not serious such as sebaceous cyst. Better get in line to try and see an Eye MD
