I think i might have a karkaatjie. my eye is swolen and red. i can see a little bump on my eye lid. i have some pain and the eye is itchy. my doctor is on leave. will i have to see another doctor or will the chemist be able to help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lid lesion: This is more likely a chalazion,inflammation in meibomian gland.Usually warm compresses help. If it doesn’t improve after warm compresses 4x a day about 10 minutes each time for a week then see an ophthalmologist.
