white yellowish bump under eye

[nadia634]

i hae a yellowish whitish bump or looks like a pimple but it is not sore nor painfull at all , its small but it seems like it is separate from my skin meaning its showing out of my skin its hard not soft and has no black head or anything wht could it be?? cholesterol?/ or what??

[nadia634]

oh no its not a white head because its not growing from under the surface of the skin its growing from above the skin and its yellowish whiteish colored not red and its like separate from my face - like something has grown onto my skin not from underneath my skin

Sounds like a simple sebaceous cyst, like a whitehead.

These can be easily removed at an ophthalmologist's office.
