Brief Answer: This is stye of the eyelid. Detailed Answer: Hello Welcome to Health care magic Iam Dr. Dadapeer K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye. I went through the photo attached with the query and your history of pain, redness near the left corner of the left eye. This is inflammatory condition affecting the gland of the eyelid. This is called as external hordeolum or stye. This is because of infection caused by bacteria. The treatment of the condition is by using antibiotic eye drops. I prefer to use broad spectrum antibiotic eye drops like moxifloxacin. Oral analgesic drugs are used preferably for pain relief. Applying hot compression with a clean cloth dipped in warm water provides symptomatic relief and helps in early resolution of the inflammation. Hope I have answered your questions and the information is helpful to you. Thank you
