Don't be alarmed!: If you are looking at the inner portion of the lower lid, that is near your nose, you have located the lower puntum. This is a structure that is responsible for the drainage of your tears. Thear is also one on the upper lid as well. These can occasionally get inflamed inflamed and can get infected which would require treatment.

I have what looks like a small pimple (whitehead) on the inside corner of my eye. It's not on the lid, or the eye ball, but in the pink fleshy part. Will this go away on its own? It's irritating, and stings. I have had it for 2-3 days.
