I have little white bumps on my eyelids, close to my eyebrows. They appeared today. Is this herpes?

They look like little pimples, like whiteheads.  I popped a few of them...I know I shouldn't have, but they are frustrating me.  No itch or anything, just there.  And they're like in clusters...  Is this herpes?

Don't pop!!! See a dermatologist since milia on the eyelids (one of the possible diagnoses0 should be looked at and formally diagnosed.  if it's an infection - you may also need an antibiotic.  it's unlikely that it is herpes.  If it is, herpes near the eyes, can be dangerous so you would want an official diagnosis as well.
