What Is The Cure For Painful White Spot Under An Eyelid?

I have an extremely painful white spot under my eyelid that feels like sandpaper every time I move my eyes. I thought it was just an eyelash or dirt earlier, but I am now getting massive
Amounts of mucuos(?) some that feel like they are peeling off the entire backing to my eye lid. I can't really open my eye much at this point and so far, warm compresses aren't helping. Should I be worried enough to call a cab to bring me to the ER? I don't think I could drive like this.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a painful white spot under the eyelid.
This indicates inflammation or infection of the glands of the eyelids.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Applying hot compression will provide symptomatic relief. If the condition is not responding to medical line of treatment a simple incision and drainage is required.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
