Suggest Remedy To Heal Small Cut On My Eyelid

Hi I have a small cut on my eyelid that hasn t been able to heal for almost 2 months. I have been applying vaseline to keep it moist but when a scab forms it becomes extremely itchy due to it being right in side my eyelid crease. The scab usually bothers me at night while I m sleeping and I rub it off in my sleep. How can I get it to form a scab and heal completely without rubbing it off?

Hello, vaseline is of no use in this case, since it doesn't have antibiotics. Your cut must be infected since it's been so long. You must use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Triple Antibiotic. First rub off the scab, you can do it while you're taking a shower. Apply a small quantity (You can use a cotton swab), one time in the morning, and one at night, for seven days. I hope it helps you.
