Hey, I've got this small white bump on my upper eyelid and it's underneath the skin. It's been causing a bit of pain. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

You may have a stye, which is a common eye infection that can cause a painful bump on the eyelid. You can try using antibiotic eye ointment like Tobramycin (Tobrex) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the eyelid for 10-15 minutes several times a day can help reduce pain and swelling. If the stye does not improve or if your symptoms worsen, please consult an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment.

What could be causing this, and what kind of solutions should we be considering? Also, could you recommend a good hospital with an orthoptist near HSR Layout where we could get it checked out?

Question

I've been dealing with this weird issue where my left eye starts itching in the evening, like after 6 pm, and it goes on until I fall asleep. It's been happening for the past five days, but it's fine during the day. I'm not sure what's causing it or if I should be worried. Could it be something serious or just a minor irritation that will go away on its own? Any advice or thoughts on what might be going on?
