Sore Eye

[Ric.ror]

The very outer area of my eyelid (where the top meets the bottom) is very red and sore
Two weeks ago it was both sides and I used cortisone cream very very sparingly
The left one is ok now but the right one went a little gungy however it seemed to be getting better
Today it seems quite sore and red again
Any idea what it is and what causes it and Should I restart the tiny amounts of cream again

TIA

Ah! is it swollen? It is likely to be what is known as a Hordeolum ( infection in a gland)
No big deal.You can put a little hydrocortisone cream on as a temporary measure, but tomorrow "pop" into the chemist for chloromycetin eye ointment and use that for a couple of days and assess the result.

No it's not swollen
It's kind of on the fold

My advice still stands.
