How To Treat Recurring Scab On Lower Eyelash Line?
I have a scab on my lower eyelash line on my right eye. It has been there for four days and is hard and crusty. It came off once when I washed my face and that area was red and tender for a day. It looked like it was healing, but now the scab is back again.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the scab comes off before it is absolutely ready and the underlying area is not completely healed then it would reform as the area tries to heal again.
May have to consider wiping the area gently only when cleaning your face so that it would heal appropriately.
I hope this helps
