Small Black Dot On Top Of Eye, Stings While Blinking Eyes. Started After Putting Makeup. Suggestions?
I have a small black dot on the top of my eye on the white part ynder my eyelid. Everytime i move or blink my eye in a certain way it stings and burns. I tried eyedrops and flushing it with water but nothing helped. Now I cant open my affected eye because it hurts too much. It happened after i was putting makeup on with and eyeliner pencil and i felt something in my eye that caused me a lot of pain. But it wasnt the eyeliner itself because that would have washed away with the water. I cant open my eye in light either, like I have icreased photosensitivity and my eye waters.

Hi, It seems you have Inflammation of white part of your eye due to irritation/allergy to some cosmatic contact . Might be aeyeliner or any other cosmatic.. you say it hurts while opening the eye- meaning the forgen body has entered & sticked to the conjunctiva. If the thing is not washed out with water,or resolved by simple eye drops, It may have 2ndry infection I would advice to visit an Opthalmologist immediately, get the eye checked ,& the forgein body( if present) removed.You will be given some antibiotic/antiinflammatory eye dros . some times oral antibiotics are also needed. Thank you.
