Eye Gets Red In Inner Corner, Feels Dry, Seems To Be A Cyst Like Area Under The Upper Eyelid, Itching.

Eye gets red in inner corner, feels dry, seems to be a cyst like area under the upper eyelid that I can feel on eye, feels like there s something in eye, NO discharge though. Itching sometimes, a little sore when I close my eyes tight. The pain seems to be where the bump is. You can t see the bump but you can feel it when you run fingertip over it. Eye has been twitching too. No real pain though. Rx d erythromycin ointment for eye 3x daily and penicillin 4x daily by mouth.
