The picture is not very clear (the bump is very small!) but it appears to be a minor inflammatory reaction or a knock/bruise. Blocked oil glands are very common in this area and I would not be overly concerned unless this increases in size or causes any rubbing/irritation the eye in which case you should have it checked by your vet
