How To Treat White Headed Pimple On Eyelid Rim?
Hi, I have a white head pimple on my upper eyelid rim, it doesn't hurt, just a little scratchy. What should I do? Can I continue wearing my soft contacts? I leave for Mexico tomorrow morning, a little concerned if it gets infected or something arises.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a white lesion on the eyelid margin.
This can be because of inflammation or infection of the gland of the eyelid.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops, antiinflammatory drugs and hot compression.
The use of contact lenses should be avoided as it cause infection.
Thank you
