Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
Short answer: Inflammatory swelling, need to consult an opthalmologist.
Detailed answer: Thanks for asking on HCM.
A painful, red swelling at the corner of eye may be due conjuctivitis, blepharitis etc. It is an inflammatory condition which can be treated with medications. No need to worry as it can be cured. Please consult an opthalmologist who will examine your eye and put you on medication.
Hope this helps.
If you have any other queries, feel free to ask.
