Suggest Treatment For Redness And Itching On Eyelid

Hi, i have a red rash like blister (similar to like a jock itch that is very itchy) on my eye lid that I believe that I got from rubbing my eyes to much because of dust in the room. The right top eye lid is red and puffy and of course itchy. I believe it to be a fungal infection so I am keeping it clean and dry. What do you suggest I do?

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
These symptoms indicate inflammation of the glands of the eyelids. This is unlikely to be fungal infection, hence no need to worry.
This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
