Itching at caruncle
It's been a week that my carbuncle area is constantly feeling itchy. No swelling whiteness redness or vision problem. Would any normal clearing eye drop help or any suggestions?

Hello
this may be due to dryness
you can 1. Blink a lot
2. Wash eyes with fresh water
3. Cold compresses
4. Use lubricating eye drop like flogel
This is a provisional diagnosis. Consult your ophthalmologist for detailed examination.

I would advise you to visit an opthalmologist so that you can be examined and undergo the necessary investigations to find the underlying cause and have it treated. You will require antibiotic, antacid, antihistamine and an antishistamine eye drop. These following steps may help:
- Don't rub your eyes constantly.
- Maintain a high level of hygiene
- Do not share towel or clothes.
- Avoid touching the area and if you do was your hands thoroughly.
If the problem persists or worsens visit the opthalmologist at the earliest.
