Lacrimal Caruncle Eye Pimple!?
I have a bump that looks exactly like a white pimple in my lacrimal caruncle. It's never been there before, but has appeared there since a year or two ago. I do wear makeup/contacts once in awhile and never sleep with makeup on. It sometimes gets very itchy, but just yesterday, I noticed it looked different. It looked like it was headed in a pointy direction almost as if it was going to pop. What do I do with it?

Lacrimal caruncular area contains many glands. It appears you might have developed a cyst from one of those glands. This area has complex anatomy and it is a must you consult one well versed with the lesions in this area.
Next Steps
Consulting an Ophthalmic plastic surgeon would be what I would recommend.
Health Tips
Cysts tend to keep growing. Hence it is better to take expert advice early on.
