What Causes A Small Hard Pimple Close To The Eye?
I have a small pimple next to my eye, and there is pink in that corner, but not around the eye, nor is it blood shot. I covered it with genteal ointment. It has gotten a little harder, and the pimple is pink, a little bigger. Cannot put any acne dryer ointment on it, have no neosporin, just a triple antibiotic ointment, which is thick. How will this pimple heal. I have been using eye gel drops because of dry eyes due to medication taken for cold and allergies. Should I try to see the eye doctor tomorrow?

Hello,
It is unlikely to be a pimple. Conditions like molluscum or wart must be considered. Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
