Thanks for reaching out about Naoki and including a photo. By the picture, this could possibly be a small abscess on the eyelid edge, possible a meibomian gland abscess. Monitor for now as are often self limiting, but if persists, seems to bother him or gets larger, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
