Eye Irritation On Outer Corner, Rubbed Eyes Vigorously, Redness. Treatment?

Since January, both of my eyes are irritated where the upper and lower eyelids meet on the outer corner of the eye. It started when I had to do a lot of work at the computer and I believe I unconsciously rubbed my eyes too much. Now my eye corners are constantly itching and are red. I put moisturizing cream but it does not seem to help enough.

Hi, Thanks for query.
It seems that you might have some allergy or might be having infection in root of eye lashes, called Blepheritis.
Apply antibiotic cream on hairs of eyelids.
Put some decongestant eye drops in your eyes.
Wash your eyes with fresh, cool water.
ok and bye.
