Brief Answer:
Possibility of pingiculae or cyst.

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
There are few questions to be answered,is there associated irritation .It is always better if you could upload a photograph of the lesion,that would make the diagnosis certain.
The possibilities range from a pingicula,which is slightly raised and not associated with any symptoms to a conjunctival cyst,where there are small water filled cysts and accompanied irritation.
So will wait for you to upload photographs to ascertain the diagnosis and offer a remedy.

Brief Answer:
Conjunvtival cyst

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Good of you to get back to me.
This is likely to be conjunctival cyst.There are glands on the surface of eye which secreat watery fluid to keep eye moist.A gland's opening may be blocked, leading to fluid retention and a cyst.The opening may open and your problem disappears.
Any further issue,do get back to me.
