Brief Answer:
Lid margin infection.
Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
This was a lid margin infection, this was a infection at the base of hair follicle. There are a series of glands in the lid margin, known as meibomian glands. They may also get infected like this.
You've followed a correct regime and it is good that you are better now.
If still there is Pus discharge from the point then antibiotic eye ointment can be applied at bed time.
Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
