Welcome to HCM portal.
This is a corneal ulcer.This has to be attended immediately.
You are not supposed to wear a contact lens till the keratitis is resolved.You have to get urgent help to differentiate between this ulcer being of bacterial or fungal origin.If it is bacterial then anti biotic drops are to be used,if fungal then anti fungal drops are to be used.All this will require intensive treatment.Get help soon in the meanwhile you can use antibiotic eye drops.
