Welcome to Health care magic.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history and the photos attached with the question.
This shows inflammatory swelling of the glands of the eyelid, in the form of hordeolum.
It is contagious and can involve one or more glands of one or both the eyes.
I treat this condition by use of antibiotic eye drops.
Use of warm compression and analgesic drugs provides symptomatic relief.
