Wow, I like that question!. I have never had someone tell me their caruncle hurts!. A likely cause could be an in-turned lash in this area or just overall dryness with a transferred pain to the caruncle!. If you don't see a lash rubbing your eye funny, the first thing I would try is just artificial tears or rinsing drops for relief!. I would also use a warm compress for some relief!. I would say if that doesn't help I would say see an eye doctor, we have microscopes that we can look at the spot and see what's going on there!. Also that nasal corner is where the puncta or tear drainage is- that can get infected or have a lash in it!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
