tiny skin colored bump near my eye; help!

I have have this very small skin colored bump near the bottom of my eye by my eye lashes for almost two years now.
It is really little and it's texture is hard. It really doesn't bother me that much until ANOTHER one showed up a week or so ago; except it formed near the top of my eyelid.
Note: It is not IN my eye, its near it; it is not a stye, so what is it?! Please help me!
Thank you so much!

sometimes it works at others it breaks the lining of the cyst and forces the material in the cyst into the tissues creating a marked inflammatory reaction. Sometimes not sterile instruments are used and it gets infected.

Well I would much rather
listen to a professional than
go with what I think I should do.
..one question, why is it not safe to pop it?

Lots of posibilities cysts, moles, plugged oil gland. We just can't tell you exactly what it is in this forum. Suggest you see an Eye MD ophthalmologist physician for a definitive diagnosis.
