Hello,
You are suffering from discomfort due to pimple discharging white pus on the bottom eyelid. It appears that you are having stye on the bottom of the eyelid. It occur when bacteria get into the oil glands in the eyelids. You should wash your hands thoroughly with medicated soap before touching your eyes. Prescription medicines for stye are a course of oral antibiotics, commonly erythromycin or amoxycillin for 7 (seven) days.
Eyedrops like Ciplox eye drop or Genticyn eye drop can be given to be put 2-3 drops twice daily. Pus or white discharge coming out can be cleaned by using a clean washcloth dipped in warm water and gently placing it over the affected eye for 5-15 minutes. This can be repeated several times a day for relief. Warm compress is helpful. Avoid scratching or touching the eyes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
You have developed a small pimple with white pus on the bottom eyelid rim. You have got a stye, do not pop, touch or scratch. Keep your hands clean and take care of your eye hygiene. Give warm compress with clean hands twice daily. Do not use make up. It should start reducing within 42-72 hours. However, some styes take a longer time to clear up (7-10 days).
If it takes long to go, you can consult an Eye specialist, you may need artificial tears, to keep eyes moist and comfortable. You may need anti inflammatory drops or antibiotics or get it drained. To prevent eye infection, maintain proper eye and eyelid hygiene, use good quality cosmetics and eye lens for your eyes. Always remove your makeup at night. Remove your contact lens before sleeping.
