Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a cut on the eyelid which is healing by a yellow scab.
The presence of yellow scab indicates that it is infected. Hence this requires treatment by the use of antibiotics.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
