How To Treat Dryness And Irritation On The Eyelid After Using Makeup?

I wore glitter eyeshadow the two days ago. I woke up yesterday and my eye felt dry...today it was feeling even more dry. So i looked inside my bottom eyelid and it has a small red area like a scratch. My eyeball its self isnt red but bottom lid feels dry and irrirated. More a nucance but no pain. What can i do to help it and how ling before it heals? Ive tried dry eye drops not helping.

Hi,

It could take up to a couple of weeks to heal if there is scratching on the cornea. In mean time, you can use eye drops or ointment that contains antibiotic and corticosteroids ( tobradex for. example) for few days 3-4 times a day in order to improve. If there is worsening of the condition such swelling, augmented redness, consult an Ophthalmologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
