Suggest Remedies For A Painful And Itchy Skin Growth Above The Left Eye
Question: I have had Molluscum on my eyes and beside my eyes for the past 3-4 months. Now one such skin abnormality (above my left eye) has become big and has started looking like a pimple. It is painful and itchy. Additionally there is a slight painful bump behind my left ear (where the jaw ends). it pains only if you press it.
Brief Answer:
you need to get clinically examined by a Dermatologist thoroughly ..
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Welcome to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,
Please note that Molluscum contagiosum is a viral infection, and it generally presents as painless papular growth otherwise known as warts..
The definitive treatment for this is Laser ablation/ cauterization by a Dermatologist only..
The present scenario that You've explained, is most likely suggestive of an infection (specially considering the fact that it's itchy and painful)..please don't take any chance with any alternative medicine (specially since it's involving the eyelids) and simply schedule a visit to a Dermatologist at the earliest..
If the itching is too much bothersome, you can take Tab Cetirizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime for next 5 days, it'll provide some symptomatic relief..
The lesions must be examined clinically, and if suspected any secondary bacterial/fungal infection, then must be treated with proper antibiotics/antifungals, so please get yourself checked out by the Dermatologist at the earliest..at the same time, do get a recheck of your blood sugar levels also(high blood sugar must be checked and controlled to yield better outcome)..
Take Care
Kind Regards
