Does this sound like conjunctivitis??
Question: My eyelid has a red lump on it which for about a week was extremely itchy, then it seemed to die down abit then yesterday it came up again and its just red with a white lump on the end, I can feel the lump on my eye whenever I blink but apart from that it doesn't bother me. (there are no other symptoms)
The doctor was phoned for me yesterday and without seing me prescribed an ointment for the treatment of acute bacterial conjunctivitis.
Answers: Sounds more like a sty than conjunctivitus. You really should see the doctor as the wrong treatment won't do it any favours.
It's sty
but the treatment is the same cream/ointment.
Conjunctivitis is very painful and causes the eye to leak a jelly like fluid which makes the eyelids stick together and can be passed from one person to another by contact - even if you just rub your eye - it stings and is really uncomfortable.
What you have is a sty
Hi,
Sounds like you have a stye - go to this link:

Anything like that?
The Doctor can prescribe antibiotics for it if it doesn't clear up, but I think you'll find the eye drops will also work. Whether it be conjunctivitis or a stye, they are both forms of bacteria in and around the eye.
Don't worry about it too much, they are very common and usually clear up by themselves.
I know they can be quite irritating, try not to rub it too much, and use plenty of eye drops to moisturise the eye.
Hope this helps!
I'd agree a sty. conjunctivitis is hell on earth for your eyes and they swell up, become very tender and crusty. weep a yellow discharge and your eyes can be red and it's very contagious. I'd pop into the chemist and let the pharmacist have a look.
I would say it's a stye also. I get those sometimes when I wear makeup. Usually go away on their own. Ugly little things aren't they!
