What Causes White Stuff In The Corner Of Eye?
Hi, I have white stuff that always happen to appear in my eye periodically throughout the day. I am 22 years old and it just starting occuring like 3 months ago. On a daily basis, I wipe my eyes to get the white stuff out like 50 times. Plus, its embarrasing when people look at you and they see white stuff in the corner of your eyes. Is there anything I can do take or do to stop this from happening

Looks like you have dandruff like condition on your eyelashes as in scalp. most of the time both co-exists.
Make sure you don't have dandruff on sclap, if any use good regular anti-dandruff shampoo.
For eye, daily wipe your eye lid margins with warm washcloth twice or thrice a day. Make sure to pull your lid margin away from eye while you do this to avoid any injury to eye.
with this regular regime you should be able control this condition, rarely you might need antibiotic eye drops/ointment.
Regards
