A member asked:

Could cephalexin treat pinguecula?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Pinguecula are a normal structure sort of like the callus of the eyes. They are no due to infection or caused by infection. Cehalexin is a good antibiotic but will have no effect on pingeucula. Don't waste your money.
