Spots on eyelids

[car crazy]

I have had since july a large zit type spot with a white head between my eye lashes down to the top of the pupil, today another one has started to appear on the same eyelid. I went to the opticians in august and he said there were blocked ducts on my eyelid and it would clear in its own time.Is there anything i can put on it to make it disapear? It weeps overnight sometimes and varys in size but never disapears, thanks in advance.

I had such a thing once, very briefly. I also have a thing for popping/squeezing spots etc. It was painful when I did it (similar to plucking eyelashes) but it did go.

That isn't to say that the thing I had was the same as yours, however. It's a judgement call for you to make.

Try rubbing some conc HCL on it, that will do the job

Wash your eye lids with baby shampoo.

I get these occasionally.

Hot flannel, close your eyes and hold the flannel tightly against your whole eye lid. Keep there for 5mins, with every minute or do dipping the flannel back in hot water so that its still hot (as hot as you can handle)

Then squeeze your eye lid between thumb and index finger, repeat a couple of times. Do this over 2 or 3 days and it should help break them down and get rid.

If in doubt, go see an optician and they should be able to show you/demostrate.

For preventative maintenance, seach youtube for kittens being shot, and cry your eyes out regularly!

You might have hit the cause on the head, I haven't cried in 30 years in which time i've lost both parents (my mam in may), the tear ducts could be clogged up.

I've got some Chloramphenicol eye ointment which seems to work for this.

I got it from the pharmacy at my local GP, but it looks like Boots sell the (exact) same stuff:

You mean it could be Lupus?
