My dog's eye has a white bump that grew and split. What is it?

Question

Hi this thing has been on my dogs eye for quite some time and we thought it was just a white pimple but has recently grown and kind of split. Do you know what it could be? And how it would be fixed. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 12 lbs

This could be an infected gland but a skin tumor is also possible. Sometimes a warm compress helps but if this does not go away within a day or two Scrappy should be examined by his veterinarian, sooner if it gets worse in any way.
