Hello
It seems from the history that you are having irritation and swelling of the eye lid.
This can be because of inflammation affecting the glands of the eyelids.
This requires treatment by using antibiotic eye drops and antiinflammatory drugs.
Applying hot compression to the local swollen area provides symptomatic relief.
Thank you
