I'm male, 16 white Australian. I wear contacts daily and glasses on the weekends, I've just noticed that my right eye has become itchy lately. Today when I looked in the mirror I noticed that the pink fleshy part in the corner of my right eye, the corner close to teh middle of my face, has another fleshy darker coloured part that comes onto the eye a little. This appears to be the cause of the itchiness. I'm 16 and this freaks me out, cancer or what. Can you give me some information on this and some recommendations if any? Thankyou.
hello, I have gone through our query. As per description provided by you,DEFINITELY it is not a cancer....So Stop such worries now. The redness and etching in eye is indicative of infection to the eye. Our eyes are very delicate organs and can get infected even by dirty hands or handkerchief contact with eyes. As you said you wear contact lenses so the chances of infection is more because of contamination with lenses.
I would advice you : 1)to maintain hygiene while using lenses. 2)Wash your eyes with running cold water after removal of lenses. 3)Try to avoid using lenses untillitching goes away. 4)you can use re-wetting eye drops prescribed by the physician. 5)visit eye specialist to check your lenses if the itching increased.
Hope the information provided is helpful to you. Don't worry be careful.
Regards.
