What causes small white pimples on eyelids?

What do styes look like?

Are milia cancerous?
Milia are common non-cancerous (benign) skin findings in people of all ages.
How long do milia last?
Milia are common in newborns but can occur at any age. You can’t prevent milia. And no treatment is needed because they usually disappear on their own in a few weeks or months.
Can stress cause a stye?
Styes can appear without any reason, but sometimes they are caused by eye make-up, which can block the skin. They can also be caused by stress or hormonal changes. People with rosacea or inflammatory diseases of the eyelid, such as blepharitis ormeibomitis, seem to get more styes than other people.
