it is not possible for you to decide whether it is a scar or infection. If you are using lotepred and its an infection , it can worsen the condition and can even be vision threatening.

Please consult in person, if you are located in Bengaluru I am available for consultation.
Health Tips
vision check is must and close follow up in person essential for you.
