Pus On The Edge Of My Eyelid?!


Question:

Pus On The Edge Of My Eyelid?

I recently had a tiny little sore pus on the edge of my eyelid where my eyelashes grow. I just lifted up my eye and saw it there and wondered how it got there and why. Is it a possibility of me rubbing my eye alot? It hurts a bit and I thought it would be best to pop it but I have a hard time doing so. Is it an infection?


Answers:

yes, that is an infection and it is called a STY. your hair follicles' opening was infiltrated by some form of bacteria and it was'nt flushed out and got stuck in there. so it proliferated and it irritated your lashes' membranes, thus causing infection. thats why there will be some inflamation and pus formation.

do not touch it or even try to pop it. this might cause more damage than good. instead, see a nurse or a doctor who can prescribe you with some antibiotic drops or ointment to treat that. do not rub or squeeze or touch it, ok.
