Millet-shaped bumps in the corners of the eyes, accompanied by pain and other discomforts, may be caused by mosquito bites, but also blepharitis, blepharocysts and other causes.
1. Mosquito bites: If a patient is bitten by a mosquito in the corner of the eye, a small rice-like lump may appear in the corner of the eye, accompanied by pain, itching, swelling and other discomfort.
