Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having eyelid edema following burn injury to eye brow.
This indicates inflammatory edema of the eyelid. You need to continue antibiotic application in the form of neosporin. Along with this need to use antiinflammatory drugs and hot compression for symptomatic relief.

Thank you
