Dermoid cyst: It's caused by protrruding lining of scalp between the bone and the skull. Found at junctions if the skull bones. The corner of eye is a junction between the zygomatic arch ( which protects the eyeball - forming lower border ) and the facial -temporal bones at the corner of the eyeball. It's firm, not usually mobile, non tender under skin. If small and not growing : leave It Alone see Ophthalmo
