8 months old baby eyelid
My 8 months old baby boy is having some infection or allergy on eyelids. He had similar one is end of Oct. And one on 16th Nov. It settled down on its own after 10 days. And it is coming back again. I am worried what could be the reason whether this is stye/allergy/herpes , I am more worried about herpes which i came across on internet. Last two times eye doctor told it was allergy. But it's coming third time in 2 months now... . It looks like mild swelling or multiple clustered tiny bumps... he rubs his eyes mostly in the night while sleeping. please advise sir/madam

It looks like an allergic rash. Allergies can come again and again. They can be controlled only. Please visit your eye specialist again or take a second opinion. Stye is larger than this and does not look like this. Herpes is not seen at this age

This does need a paediatric and Ophthalmologist visit for this episode too. Having said that with the history what given and based on the photo looks like allergic as this is a season for the allergic conjunctivitis. Never the less please visit an ophthalmologist and paediatrician.
