What Could The Pus-filled Blister On Eye Lid Signify?

I found a blister that looks like it has pus in it when I pull down my bottom eye lid. It is red but does not hurt or sting. I went to the doctor and she said it was an infection and gave me antibiotics. Should I pop the blister and let the pus out

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a pus filled blister on the eyelid. This is inflammatory swelling of the gland of the eyelids.
Since treatment is given by the use of antibiotics pain is absent.
If the swelling is presenting with pus pointing it needs incision an drainage.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
