tiny pimple in corner of eye w/ white heads

[JJmom3]

I have 3 tiny pimple-like things in the corner of my near the tear duct. What is this? I have recently had a cold sore  and I freaking out thinking that I gave myself ocular herpes.

Those are generally the openings of the Meibomean glands, about 40 on each lid, sometimes they can be opened with with compresses and the use of a lid cleaning product like Ocusoft, Eye -scrub or Theratear-Sterilid cleaning foam.

hi
Like jjmom3 i have like a tiny white-heads like thing near my tear duct. I'm wondering if there's any way I can get rid of it or what it is called. I tried using tweaser and needle just to take it out, stupid move, but im just anxious to see it gone. Plus it looks like its getting a wee bigger.

Thanks a lot!

Probably plugged oil gland (Meibomian gland). Very unlikely ocular herpes.
