white spot on my eyelid

I have a white spot on my upper eyelid about the size of a pea in diameter. It is slightly raised, sometimes dry and scaley, sometimes puffy. It can't be covered by makeup. What is it?

I don't know.  Your description fits many conditions.  I suggest you see an Eye MD.  You can find one near you at www.aao.org.
