It could be a number of things, but it most likely ACTUALLY IS a stye. Stye's can form under the skin, and not take on their recognized appearance for quite a while.
If the lump is more in the corner of your eye where the tear ducts are, then it could mean you have a clogged tear gland. In any case, you should at least consider seeing a doctor. Look for an opthomologist, not an optometrist. Good luck.

What it is is dependent upon a number of things, including size and color. If it's incredibly tiny and white, it's probably what's known as a milia. These usually disappear over time, but if it's really bugging you your doctor can take it off your face. My doctor told me that it's because there are lots of really tiny pores around your eye and sometimes these little pockets of stuff get stuck there. I've had them twice: the first time the doctor used a syringe to pull the stuff out and the second time he used a curette (blade). Neither time hurt.
