Hi Jean I am Dr Bilal and I am an Ophthalmologist
Welcome to Health Care Magic and thanks for writing to us .
I would like to answer your question and your satisfaction is my goal .

First of all , its Pterygium , not teredium and secondly , there is nothing to worry . Pterygium usually doesn't require treatment if symptoms are mild . If there is a more worsening of condition and its causing redness and irritation , you should visit your eye doctor , who should prescribe you with lubricating eye drops and may prescribe you with a short course of steroid and vasoconstrictor eye drops .The other remedy is surgery only in cases if that reddish membrane has started covering the cornea and interfering with vision . I would also like you to know that you would not become blind and there is no need to wash your face during night time , so just relax .

Wish you good luck .
Best regards .
