There are several different things that can cause 'bumps' on or near the eyelids. First, there are tiny oil glands within the skin of the eyelid that help provide lubrication to the eye. Bacteria from the skin can infect these oil glands similar to acne pimples on other parts of the face or body. On the eyelid, this kind of bump is called a stye. Styes are usually reddish and may be painful. Whitish, painless bumps on the eyelids can also be caused by small collections of a protein under the skin. These cysts are called milia and can often be found on newborn babies, in addition to areas around the eyes, nose, and mouth in adults.
