Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
I believe you are suffering from infection of eye lids or related glands, commonly called a stye. You'll need to take antibiotic eye drops in order for it to heal. If too much pus accumulates, it might even need drainage by incising. Kindly ocnsult an ophthalmologist and start with antibiotic eye drops.

Dr. Sridhar
