Hello there. I can understand your concern. As far as the eye is concerned it appears that your eye has some sort of infection in it. You need to wash your eye with lukewarm water and clear all the secretions. For a detailed treatment plan, I would need a few more details. You can start the consultation by clicking"chat now" option so that I can take a detailed history and suggest you accordingly. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
