Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a boil on the eyelid. This is because of infection of the gland of the eyelid. The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and oral anti-inflammatory drugs. Applying hot compression provides symptomatic relief.
If the condition is not responding to treatment as in your case incision and drainage of the pus is required.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
