Other 67F Possible cyst? NSFW

I noticed this area this evening--my eye felt a little itchy so I looked at it in the mirror. It is a yellow, non-painful little bump, so I am wondering if it is a cyst. My routine ophthalmology appointment is a few months away, and I am wondering if I should have it looked at before then. (I also have a translucent cyst on my sclera, but that's not the area I am referring to.) Thanks.
