What Do Bumps Along The Eyelash Indicate?

I have been getting (swollen, stye looking) bumps along lash line (lower and upper) waking up with yellow crust on inner canthus. I recently got one on the upper eye lid and I was able to squeeze pus out of it. Originally I thought it was just a stye but then it kept coming back in different locations and now both eyes. This has been going on off & on for about 2-3 weeks. What could it be and what should I do?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having multiple bumps along the eyelids.
These symptoms indicate multiple hordeolum with blepharitid.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops, oral antiinflammatory drugs.
The blephatitis which is probably responsible for multiple hordeolum is treated by use of antibiotic eye ointment and lid scrubs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
