What is this bump on my lashline?

Right below where my lashes are, directly above my eye I have a small yellowish/white bump that is tender to the touch and is uncomfortable when I blink. I have a smaller one on my other eye, same place. What could this be?

There are several possiblities:  It could be a sebaceous (oil) cyst, a blocked pore, a small stye, a blocked oil gland (chalazia). You can try some warm compresses but if it remains tender you should see an eye MD ophthalmologist.
