A member asked:

Red eyelid, sore, maybe a bit swollen, could it be an ingrown lash?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Early stye: A small stye or chalazion in the eyelid can cause tenderness. Try hot compresses a few times daily until it goes away, or see an eye doctor!

Dr Armendariz and another doctor agreed
