Hello
It seems from the history that you are having sores with pus on the eyelids. This indicates infection of the glands of the eyelids in the form of inflammatory lesions.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Applying hot compression provides symptomatic relief.
If the condition does not resolve it requires incision and drainage.
Thank you
