What Causes A Small White Bump On The Eyelid?

I have a small white bump in the middle of my eyelid... I remember having some since I was a child but they have disappeared. A few months back I found another one but this one is larger... there is no inflamation, no pain, no loss of eyesight... just a bump. It is not rigid, meaning It moves around a little if I try to pick it. Any ideas on what this might be? It is perfectly round...

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The description you have given ties with a skin tag.Skin tags are common and may pose no problem but may be very disturbing(esthetically). I will suggest you see the Dermatologist for examination.It may as well be any other skin growth or tumor.Only an examination by the Doctor can help to identify what type of skin growth it is.
Hope this will help
Best regards
