Thank you for your answer. I wonder if it’s an infection because it is on both eyelids, although I’m sure he touches them back and forth which could spread one. They don’t itch and aren’t swollen. I’m glad it’s nothing to worry about. He’s on many medications including, Trulicity, which he only began a month ago. I will have him check with the eye doctor.
Brief Answer:
Please inform the eye doctor about medicines.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
When you consult your doctor, please inform him the list of medicines he is taking. You can show the prescription or medicines so that he can come to a conclusion.
Wish him speedy recovery.
Please post a pic of the eyes if you do not have any objection.
