Hi
Thank you for writing to Health care magic

These symptoms indicate infection of the eyelids in the form of blepharitis.
The treatment of this condition is by use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
