What Causes A Swollen Scab On The Lower Lash Line?
My 5yr old son has pneumonia and reactive airway diease he also was prescribed eye drops for pink eye. Today I noticed what looks like a scab (not crust) on his lower lash line. It is also swollen as if he has a stye. What could this be? He has had styles before, but never a scab. I ve pretty much been able to keep his hands off it as well.
