Scab On The Eyelid. Difficulty In Opening The Eye. Concerned
I have a small scab on my eyelid. It looks similar to a scab from a burn. I've only recently started wearing makeup but haven't used it in about two weeks. This scab is irritating and is causing me to struggle with opening my eye. I'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if this is fairly common.

Hello
The scab on your eyelid appears like an allergic reaction to the makeup you might have used. You should give warm compresses to the eye lid, use steroid eye ointment containing some anti-biotic also 3-4 times day over the lid. Also, take some anti-allergic tablets and multi-vitamins at bed time.
Further you should avoid using the makeup that you used earlier and try to find out a substitute. These should relieve your condition is about 1 week.
