Question 1

what should i do about a red, burning, weeping eye?

Accepted Answer

Get your eye checked: Your eye tears up because something is irritating it and tries to wash it out with tears.  Maybe something got into your eye or something you used on your hands and you wiped on your eye.  Either way, i would flush it in water for a few minutes and see if it helps.  If not, it needs to be examined.  My have an infection that needs to be treated.

Question 2

red, slightly swollen patch around eye with mild weeping. eye itself feels and works perfectly fine. skin inflammation around one eye, mild but constant weeping and flaking. eye itself feels fine and is working normally. have noticed same small patch now

Accepted Answer

See : See your doctor-could be a reaction to something you put on that area. Your doctor can tell you the best way of treatiing it- whether you can use over the counter medication or need something stronger that will require a prescription.

Question 3

slept with contacts in two days ago. now can't open left eye - dry, red, sore, constant weeping, and severe pain. what to do?

Accepted Answer

Corneal abrasion: Although very painful, it is probably not serious.  Get yourself to an emergency room to have your eye checked out.  Probably a corneal abrasion.  Your eye should be cleaned out and, perhaps, warm compresses applied.  Best to avoid falling asleep with contacts in -- too risky.  But i think you'll be fine -- just get yourself to the doctor.

Question 4

every day i wake up with swollen eyes and red patches on my skin, my eczema flares up and i get water weeping from my skin any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Get tested: You need to determine your eczema triggers, see an allergist and get tested.

Question 5

i have just contracted bacterial conjunctivitis and have to fly home from asia tomorrow what should i do? my eye is very red and blurred and weaping.

Accepted Answer

See Doctor: You will need to be seen by doctor for exam and then  prescribed antibiotic eye drops if indicated. Not sure if there are walk-in clinics where you are currently but that would be a good place to start. If you cannot be seen urgently keep area clean, dry. Warm compresses. Then see doc as soon as you get home.

Question 6

started with a cold. then weeping eyes that were red and swollen. now has persistent cough and a rash on the bottom of both hands only. she is 2 yrs.

Accepted Answer

See the doctor.: This could be a viral infection that is relatively harmless but could be signs of a more serious illness. I would have her examined by her doctor.

Question 7

hi, i can barely open my l/ eye, it is red and weeping. my l/ gland is swollen, sore throats and a really bad headache?

Accepted Answer

Get seen: Sounds like you need to get seen and make sure you don't have an infection that needs antibiotics. I would do a virtual consult here or ring your GP.

Question 8

rash, (red, weeping, gold crusting) and swelling, itchy.  develops on scalp and eyelids and around eyes and in arms.  worsens with exposure to sun. ?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: This rash could represent a seborrheic dermatitis or it may be an infection.  I would recommend that you have it evaluated by a dermatologist or your physician.

Question 9

how come i always have redness under my eyes?

Accepted Answer

Eyelid redness: Blepharitis is caused by blocked up oil glands which lead to inflammation.  Inflammation lead to bleed vessel dilation, fluid accumulation, and secondary puffiness/redness.

Lots of things: Could be anything from simple irritants to allergies to conunctivits. If it persists see your physician since infections can be a problem.
