What Do Itchy Black Spots Under My Eyelids Indicate?
I have a bunch of black spots under my top eyelids on both eyes. My eyes itch terribly and have a lot of pus coming out of them. I flipped my top lid back because it felt scratchy like something was under my eyelid and I found the black stuff. I took a picture of it but have no idea what it is and I m concerned on whether I should go to the doctor or not. Thank you.

Hello,
As there is mention about lot of pus oozing from the eye area, it seems to be acute bacterial infection. This requires an ER visit to prevent further damage to vision and vital eye structures. Till that time, keep splashing of both eyes with cold sterile water and wear goggles to protect from noxious atmospheric pollen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
